71. CRYPTOLOPHA YOUNGI, sp. nov. 



The only specimen of this very distinct flycatcher was obtained by 

 one of our Dyak collectors on Kao Nawng at about 3,500 feet. 



It is unfortunately very badly shot and in moult but it is evident 

 that it represents a perfectly good new species, allied to, but readily 

 separable from, C. castaneiceps of the Himalayas and Northern 

 Tenasserim and C. butleri of the mountains of the southern Malay 

 Peninsula. 



Differs from all other members of the group in having the uuder 

 tail coverts greyish white and the rump clear grey, the bases of the 

 feathers paler. 



Adult male. Crown chestnut, bordered by black on each side, 

 sides of the head and lores grey, upper surface darli grey, paler on 

 the rump, the scapulars only tinged with green. Primaries and 

 wing coverts blackish brown, edged with greenish and with two 

 bright yellow bars on the external aspect of the wing formed by the 

 tips of the lesser and greater wing coverts. Under wing coverts and 

 lengthened axillaries bright yellow ; whole under surface and under 

 tail coverts pearly grey, whiter on the middle of the abdomen and the 

 under tail coverts ; thighs yellowish green. Tail feathers brownish 

 black-edged with greenish. Total length about 3.25, wing 1.9, 

 tail 1.70, tarsus 0.68 inches. 



I have named this species after Arthur Young, k.c.m.g., Govei-nor 

 of the Straits Settlements and High Commissioner of the Malay 

 States, to whom I am indebted for permission to collect in Lower Siam 

 and for facilities obtained from the Siamese authorities. 



Type and only specimen obtained. Adult male, Kao Nawng, 

 3,600 feet, Bandon, N.E. Malay Peninsula, 26th June, 1913.
