 abdomen being slightly washed with ochreous buff. (No. 512). 



Specimens examined : — Three, the above mentioned male 

 and female and an immature male, resembling the female, all 

 collected at the same locality and on the same date. 



Remarks : —There is little doubt that these specimens 

 represent a species allied to but quite distinct from the conti- 

 nental D. ignipectus, the total absence of the black pectoral 

 patch bsing the most characteristic feature rhey cannot 

 apparently be referred to Dicceum solliciUins, Hartert from
