1882. ] ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF ERYTHROPYGIA. 589 
XLV. fig. 2). The type is from Teté; and the species may be 
diagnosed as follows. 
E. similis E. paenze et cauda rufa insignis, sed fascia alba duplict 
alari, prepectore nigro striolato distinguenda. 
I add a detailed description :— 
Adult. General colour above sandy rufous, slightly greyer on the 
head and mantle, more rufous on the lower back, rump, and upper 
tail-coverts ; median and greater coverts brown, edged with sandy 
rufous and tipped with white so as forma double wing-bar ; bastard 
wing dark brown, edged with white ; primary-coverts and quills dark 
brown, externally edged with sandy rufous, which is paler and broader 
on the secondaries ; tail-feathers chestnut, the centre feathers tipped 
with fulvous, before which is a broad subterminal band of dark 
brown, this band being broader on all the other feathers, which are 
tipped with white, the outermost feather being also externally edged 
with white; lores and feathers round the eye buffy-white, separated 
from the crown by a narrow line of black, scarcely sufficient to call 
an eyebrow ; ear-coverts, cheeks, and sides of neck light sandy rufous, 
the ear-coverts with whitish shaft-lines ; throat and under surface 
of body white, with a narrow moustachial line of blackish streaks ; 
fore neck and chest also streaked with blackish ; sides of body and 
flanks pale sandy rufous: thighs and under tail-coverts white ; 
under wing-coverts and axillaries white; quills brown below, the 
inner edge ashy whitish. Total length 5:2 inches, culmen 0°7, 
wing 2°55, tail 2°5, tarsus 0°95. 
The fourth species is from the Congo region ; and I propose calling 
it E. ruficauda, sp.n. (Plate XLV. fig. 1.) 
E. similis E. zambesianee, sed pileo fusco (nec arenario dorso con- 
colori) distinguenda.

Adult. General colour above rusty brown, becoming clear rufous 
on the lower back and rump; lesser wing-coverts dusky, edged with

primary-coverts dusky, fringed with fulvous; quills dusky brown, exter- 
nally rusty brown, whitish at the tips, more broadly so on the secon- 
daries ; primaries with a fulvescent spot at the base; upper tail- 
coverts clear rufous like the rump; tail-feathers rufous, broadly tipped 
with white, with a broad subterminal black band, the two centre 
feathers not tipped with white, rufous on the inner web and near 
the shaft on the outer one, dusky brown along the outer web and at 
the tip ; crown of head, nape, and hind neck more of a dusky ash-

from the base of the nostril to above the ear-coverts, and separated
