MUSCICAPID.E. 145 



a Luzon, Philippine Islands (H. Gaming) 14 June 1839. 



Determined by Strickland, with doubt, to be the Muscicapa 

 philippensis, Gm. (Syst. Nat. i. p. 943) but Gmelin's description 

 is far from complete. 



CRYPTOLOPHA. 

 Cryptolopha, Swainson, Flyc. p. 198 (1838). 



697. Cryptolopha cinereocapilla. 



Muscicapa cinereocapilla, Vieill. N. Diet. d'Hist. N. xxi. 

 p. 489. 



Cryptolopha cinereocapilla, Blyth, J. A. S. B. xv. p. 290 : 

 Jerd. B. Ind. i. p. 455. 



Cryptolopha poiocephala, Sw. Flyc. p. 200, pi. 23. 



a Himalaya (Havett) 1839. b, c Rohilcund (W. J. E. 

 Boys] 1847. 



Strickland (Ann. & Mag. N. H. vii. p, 29) points out that 

 Swainson's C. poiocephala should be called C. ceylonensis, Sw. but 

 both names are later than Yieillot's. He also shews (Ann. & 

 Mag. N. H. xviii. p. 174) that the bird described by Sundevall as 

 Muscicapa nitida, Lath, is the same as the present species. 



TERPSIPHONE.

 Pearson) 1840. / (Bt. at Stevens's) 1843. g India (E. Blyth}

699. Terpsiphone affinis. 



Tchitrea affinis, "A. Hay," Blyth, J. A. S. B. xv. p. 292 : 

 Jerd. B. Ind. i. p. 448. 



1 Though Gloger's name was proposed merely as a substitute for Cuvier's, 

 it may still be used for this genus, as the antecedent use of Muscipeta by Koch 

 precludes the adoption of that title. Tchitrea, Lesson, was introduced four 

 years later than Terpsiphone, Gloger.
