[Butuan, c? 9, May. b. Surigao, c?. May ; Placer, d'.Julyd'] 

 The examples marked <S and $ do not materially differ ; but in 

 the male the amethystine colouring of the back and rectrices is more 

 pronounced. The rufo-fulvous forehead, the albescent chin and 

 throat, the amethystine-coloured cap and rectrices, and the short bill 

 distinguish this representative form from P. leucotis.
