Apalis porphyrolsBma vulcanorum, subsp. nov. 



Diagnosis. Similar to A. p. porphyrokema Rchw. & Neum. 

 from Eldoma and its allies — A. p. ajinis Og.-Grant from

 tipped with greyish white. Chin and upper throat dark 

 cinnamon rufous followed by a fairly well-defined whitish

 feathers margined and tipped with cinnamon-buff. Remainder 

 of underparts whitish, strongly washed with olive-grey, 

 only the centre of the lower abdomen pure white. Bases of 

 feathers on the abdomen pure black, this colour showing 

 through when the plumage is disordered. Crown of head 

 dark grey, in well-marked contrast to the colour of the 

 back. Ear-coverts and lores darker, more blackish. A 

 narrow moustachial streak chestnut-brown, rather well-

 Under wing-coverts silky white, the feathers tipped with 

 rufous cinnamon.
