This species differs from E. longicauda only in having the breast, 

 abdomen, and under tail-coverts pure white, not shaded with greyish 

 blue except on the sides of the chest. The outer pair of tail- 

 feathers have a larger amount of white on the margin of the inner 

 web ; the inner web of the next feather has a small amount of 

 white. The blackish colouring in front of the eyes is barely 

 perceptible. 



E. teresita : length 65 inches, wing 2-7, tail 3-5, tarsus 0-65. 



E. longicauda : length 7"3 inches, wing 2-65, tail 4-3, tarsus 0-65.

I have little doubt that this is an immature male of this species, 

 as it agrees with an adult female specimen from Fantee in the 

 British Museum.
