This large Goatsucker seems to me to be new to science. 
It is apparently allied to C. nigriscapularis of Reichenow, but 
is very much larger, measuring 7°2-7°5 inches in the wing of 
the male, 7-3—7°6 in that of the female, whereas in C. nigri- 
scapularis the wing is given as 5°15. The male has a very 
small white spot on the inner web of the first primary, a 
larger and more rounded one on the inner web of the second, 
the third and fourth being banded across both webs with 
white. ‘The male likewise has the two outer tail-feathers 
broadly tipped with white, fringed at the extreme ends with 
dusky brown. The female has no white on the quills or 
tail-feathers, but one specimen shews a slight indication of 
a wing-bar in the shape of rufous notches in the first four 
primaries. The females are slightly more rufescent in tone 
than the males.
