1877.] MR. R. B. SHARPE ON NEW SPECIES OF WARBLERS. 23 
nigra: genis et gula fulvescentibus: plaga magna jugulari 
nigra : corpore reliquo subtus aurantiaco-fulvo, abdomine medio 
pallidiore: tibiis brunneo lavatis: subalaribus aurantiaco- 
Sulvis : rostro nigro : pedibus brunneis, unguibus flavidis. Long. 
tot. 4:7, culm. 0°55, ale 2:0, caude 1°83, tarsi 0°85. 
Hab. Gold Coast, W. Africa. 
The description is taken from a specimen obtained from the 
Gold Coast. The British Museum contains a second example 
formerly in my own collection, which I received from Denkera from 
the native collector Aubinn, who was for some time working for me. 
This specimen is not in such good condition as the type, being im- 
perfect about the tail; in general coloration, however, it is similar, 
excepting as regards the throat, which is entirely black, extending 
onto the fore neck, the sides of the latter being deep orange chestnut. 
I believe this to be the male bird, and the one described to be the 
female of a new species of Apalis, which is not closely allied to any 
of the members of the African Sylviidz at present described. 
B2OCERCA FLAVIVENTRIS, sp. u. (Plate II. fig. 2.) 
Supra olivascenti-viridis, tectricibus alarum dorso concoloribus : 
remigibus et rectricibus brunneis olivascenti-viridi marginatis, 
primariis extus flavo-limbatis: pileo cinerascenti-brunneo : loris 
et superciltis distinctis brunnescenti-fulvis : facie laterali brun- 
nescenti-fulva, regione parotica anguste albo striata: genis 
brunneo maculatis: gutture toto brunnescenti-fulvo: corpore 
reliquo subtus sulphureo, crisso et subcaudalibus albicantibus : 
corporis lateribus olivascenti-viridibus : tibiis flavis : subalari- 
bus flavis: remigibus infra cinerascenti-brunneis intus fulves- 
centi-albo marginatis. Long. tot. 2°9, culm. 0°45, ale 1°95, 
caude 0°7, tarsus 0°65. 
Hab. Gold Coast. 
Of the same form as Beocerca virens of Gaboon, but distinguished 
by its yellow belly, which is white in the Gaboon species. ‘Two 
specimens collected by Governor Ussher on the Gold Coast were 
formerly in my own collection, and now form part of that of the 
British Museum. 
DRrRoMZOCERCUS, gen. n. 
Closely allied to Phlexis, Hartlaub, but distinguished at once by 
its pointed and loosely webbed tail-feathers, the webs being separate 
and distinct, as in an Emu-plume: hence the generic name. 
The type is 
DROM£OCERCUS BRUNNEUS, sp.n. (Plate II. fig. 1.) 
Supra rufescenti-brunneus, tectricibus alarum dorso concoloribus : 
remigibus nigricantibus extus sordide rufescentibus : rectricibus 
saturate brunneis, rachibus nitide nigris: loris rufescentibus ; 
subtus dilutius rufescenti-brunneus : gutture pallidiore + sub- 
alaribus pectore concoloribus. Long. tot. 5°9, culm. 0:45, ale 
1°95, cauda 2°5, tarsi 0°75.
