Grenus—TROPICOPERDIX, Blyth, 1859. 
The birds of this genus are distinguished from those of the genus 
Arboricola by the absence of the chain of peculiar supraorbital ossicles, 
and by having a patch of downy white feathers on each side behind 
the axilla. 
There are only two species one of which is found in Burma. 
Tropicoperdix charlion: appears to me to be a good species and not 
a sub-species of 7’. chloropus.
