"Characters of adult female * * *. Differs from females of An- 

 threptes griseigularis in the absence of the grayish white chin and throat ; 

 from A. clilorogaster in the yellower coloration of the middle under parts 

 and greener upper parts; and from. A. malaccensis only in the greater 

 contrast of the canary-yellow of the middle under parts with the green 

 color of the flanks, which in A. cagayanensis are pale oil-green, and in 

 A. malaccenxis olive-yellow. I have no female of A. wiglesworthi for 

 comparison. Wing, 65 ; tail, 47 ; culmen (chord), 15.5 ; bill from nostril,

 very conspicuous; under wing-coverts pale buff, edged with yellow; 

 median wing-coverts, scapulars, sides of head, and ear-coverts very deep 

 maroon-red." (Gadow.)
