Obs. There is no near ally in the collection at the British 

 Museum, and the only one that we have found in literature 

 to approach it, is U, pallida Taczanowski, but that species is 

 described as having a uniform back, and the measurements 

 are altogether different, i. e. culmen 34 mm. ; wing 92 ; 

 tail 75 ; tarsus 27.
