 Of the latter only the female is at present known. It 

 differs from that of D. graueri in being considerably smaller ; 

 in having the upper parts paler; the throat and fore-neck 

 chestnut; the rest of the under surface yellow; and the 

 edges of the primaries greyish.

 alike. Throat and fore-neck barred in the type species.
