THE BIRDS OF SOUTH-WEST AND PENINSULAR SIAM. 375 



543. Aethopyg-a nipalensis australis Rob. & Kloss. 



Aethojyyga nipalensis australis, Robinson ifc Kloss, Bull. Brit. Orn. 



Club, xliv, 1923. p. 14 (Khao Luang, Nakon Sritamarat). 

 Aethopyga sanguinipechis, H., p. 109 (Khao Nong, 3,500 ft., 

 - Bandon). 



This sunbird is only known from the above mountains and 

 differs from the typical form in smaller size and much smaller yellow 

 rump-band in the male. 



The locality is a considerable extension of range for the 

 species which hitherto has not been obtained from any locality south 

 of Muleyit mountain. Mr. W. J. F. Williamson has specimens 

 from North Siam which have not yet been critically examined 

 and another race, Ae. n. victoriae Rippon, inhabits the Chin Hills, 

 (Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, xiv, 1904, p. 83). 



544. Chalcostetha calcostetha (Jard.). 



Nectarinia calcostetha, Jardine, Naturalist's Library, Ornith, xiii, 

 Nectariniidae, 1843, p. 263 (Java, Jardine, op. cit.,-p. 274, under 

 iV. insignis). 



Chalcostetha insignis, A., p. 183 (Mergui and Malewoon). 



Chalcostetha pectoralis, B., p. 22 (Junk Seylon) ; C. i, p. 317 

 (S. Tenasserim). 



Chalcostetha calcostetha, J., p. 191 (Terutau). 



Generally common wherever it occurs, but apparently very 

 local. 



[If the types of the three genera Leptocoma, Cyrtoatomus 

 and Arachnechthra, proposed for Asiatic birds by Cabanis, are not 

 regarded as generically different, and yet are not considered to 

 belong to Ginnyris (type splendidus, of West Africa), the generic 

 name Leptocoma (type brasiliana) which has page priority, must be 

 used]. 



545. Leptocoma brasiliana brasiliana (Gm.). 



Certhia brasiliana, Gm., Syst. Nat. i, 1788, p. 474 (Java). 

 N'ectarinia hasselti, Temm, PI. Col. 1825, PI. 376, fig. 3 (Java). 

 Nectarinia phayrei, Blyth, Journ. Asiat. Soc, Bengal, xii, 1843, p. 

 1008 (Arracan).
