Terpsiphone cristata, pt., Sharpe, Cat. B. iv. p. 354 (1879) ;

Tchitrea rufocinerea Reichenow, Vog. Afrikas, ii. p. 507

This species has been rightly separated by Dr. Reichenow 

 from T. cristata (which he prefers to call T. viridis P. L. S. 

 Miill.), the female of which it much resembles; it may be 

 distinguished by its clearer blue-grey colour and bright 

 chestnut under tail-coverts. The head is also of a clearer 

 blue-grey, as are also the sides of the neck. 



I expect that this species will ultimately have to be called 

 Tchitrea melampyra Verr. in Hartlaub's Orn. W.-Afr. p. 90. 

 We have a typical specimen sent by Verreaux in 1856, 

 which agrees exactly with the description. In the latter, 

 however, he does not mention the rufous under tail-coverts.
