Cittocincla brevicauda, Grant, Ibis, 1899, p. 584. 



The characters which distinguish this species from C. tricolor 

 are its somewhat smaller size (wing 3 - 4 inches), the brownish edges 

 to the outer webs of the primaries, the shorter middle pair of tail- 

 feathers, not greatly exceeding the second pair in length, and the 

 smaller white tips to the four outer pairs. 



In addition to the male obtained by Whitehead, the British 

 Museum possesses three birds collected by Swinhoe. These differ 

 from the type in having the middle pair of tail-feathers longer 

 than the following pair, but agree in having the outer webs of 

 the primaries brownish and the white tips to the tail-feathers 

 shorter.
