Res. pl. —. 
Hab. Java (type); Celebes (Wallace). 
I include the Javan form of A. leucoptera, Bodd., =A. malaccensis, Gm., on the 
authority of Mr. Wallace. 
There appear to be four closely allied Asiatic species of Ardeola; but they yet require 
to be brought together and closely compared. 
1. A. leucoptera, Bodd, ex Pl. Enl. 911, =A. malaccensis, Gm., ex Pl. Enl. 911, 
“Malacca,” av. juv. Buphus bacchus, Bp., having been described from a Malaccan 
individual, becomes a synonym of the type species. 
2. A. grayi, Sykes, “India,” =A. leucoptera, Bodd., ap. Jerdon (B. of Ind.). 
3. A. speciosa, Horsf., “Java.” Most probably the same as the Malaccan form. 
Stated by Professor Schlegel to also occur in Sumbawa and Borneo. 
4. A. prasinosceles, Swinhoe, “ China.” 
Not recognizing the fact that Boddaert and Gmelin founded their titles on the same
