This species in general appearance somewhat resembles D. nvpcr- 

 ciliosa. The black streaks, however, of the Hides of jiipuliini arc 

 not continued along the flanks ; the forehead and vertex, with lores 

 are olive green, not black and ])luinbeous, and there is no indicatifni 

 whatever of the black and white markings of the side of the iicml. 

 There is also some similarity to JJ. pinun ; but the plumbeous hack 

 and cheeks (not olive green), and the whitish under parts, except on 

 throat (not greenish-yellow), will readily distinguish them.
