The species nearest to this new one seems to be H. indigo ; but the latter is a much 

 smaller bird. The general tint of the upper surface is of a much greyer blue in 

 H. superciliaris, while the bright cobalt wings and tail also distinguish it in addition to 

 the silvery blue frontal line and eyebrow. The under surface is greyish blue, not greenish, 

 the colour extending over the throat and chest, leaving the rest of the under surface 

 bluish white. In S. indigo the breast is also greenish, leaving only the abdomen 

 white.

54. Eumyias panayensis, sp. n. 



Ad. sordide cyanescens, pileo vix laetiore ; tectricibus alarum minimis dorso concolori- 

 bus, majoribus cum remigibus rectricibusque nigricantibus dorsi colore marginatis; 

 facie laterali et corpore subtus vix lsetius cyanescentibus, abdomine medio albicante 

 cyaneo lavato ; crisso et subcaudalibus subalaribusque albis. Long. tot. 6"0, culm. 

 0-55, abe 2-95, caudse 2-45, tarsi 07. 

 a. ad. Panay. 

 Closely allied to E. sordida, Walden (E. ceylonensis, Gray, Handl. B. i. p. 326. no. 489, 

 descr. nulla), but distinguishable by its broader bill and by its brighter cyaneous under 

 surface. In E. sordida the breast is grey, with a brighter blue shade on the chin, and 

 the lores and feathers in front of the eye and at the base of the lower mandible are 

 black. In E. panayensis the breast is rather bright greyish cyaneous, a little more 

 silvery on the throat, lores, and base of mandible, the latter parts not showing any 

 black.
