Wing, dry, 146mm.; tail 122 (worn); bill from gape 40mm. 



Our material of this genus is not extensive; such as it is, it 

 contirms the validity of Hesse's two subspecies from the mainland 

 and Borneo. The present bird, like others from the Peninsula, has 

 the mantle brighter golden yellow than Sumatran specimens ; the 

 rump is strongly flecked with scarlet. 



Chloropicoides Malherbe, has priority by eleven years over 

 the same author's Gauropicoides.
