54, CINNYRIS HUNTERI, n. sp. (Plate XLI. fig. 2.) 
Adult male. General plumage velvety black ; forehead and front 
with three quarters of the crown metallic green, the hinder feathers 
of which are glossed with violet ; occiput, nape, back, and scapulars 
velvet-black, with the rump and upper tail-coverts metallic violet ; 
wings and tail very dark bronze-brown, with a metallic violet patch 
on the front of the wing, formed by the whole of the least series of 
wing-coverts; sides of the head and the underparts velvet-black ; 
a metallic green moustache from beneath the gape ; lower half of 
the throat and the crop glossy red like sealing-wax, with a few 
metallic violet bands, most numerous towards the upper throat, where 
they somewhat form a marginal band between the black upper and 
red lower throat ; the red feathers on the crop have a narrow yellow 
band between their red ends and black bases ; under wing-coverts 
velvet-black ; quills and tail as above; bill and legs black. Total 
length 5:6 inches, culmen 1-1, wing 2°85, tail 2°1, tarsus 0-7, 
The females as well as the young males are almost indistinguishable 
from skins in corresponding plumage of C. guéturalis. 
From all the other scarlet-throated Sun-birds, the present species 
is distinguished by the metallic patch on the wing-coverts and lower 
back.
