Ohs. This remarkable new bird has no near ally, but is 

 certainly congeneric with A. rufigula (Bodd.). The term 

 Gymnopithys, Bonap., employed for this species by several 

 authors, cannot stand, as it is a nomen nudum, no diagnosis 

 being given, nor any species mentioned. The next available 

 generic name is Anoplops, Cab. & Heine (type : Turdus 

 rufigula, Bodd.).

 eye-ring a narrow but very distinct black superciliary line.

 upper tail-coverts ; feathers of the upper back with slight
