In the Orn. Centralpol. (1. c.) mention is made in tlie "synonymy of II. sacra of a D. albifrons 

 ^<^le, but this appears to be a lapsus calami, as no such species is mentioned by Hartlaub (Wiegm. Arch. 

 1S52, 110) who is referred to. 



Eatham (1. c.) confuses the habitats of II. sacra and venerata, giving Otaheitc as the home of 

 eta and Tonga as that of venerata. Some other authorities have followed him in this mistake.
