Specific characters. — Similar to Kittacincia liizoniensis (Kittlitz), 

 but the terminal white spots on the rectrices much shorter. On the 

 outermost pair the spots are 7 to 8 millimeters, when measured on the

 millimeters (in K. hizonien&is, 13 millimeters) ; a trace, or no white, on 

 the third pair ; no white on the fourth pair. In K. luzoniensis the white

 rectrices. White superciliary stripes about as wide as in K. luzonicnsis, 

 •but not united across the forehead in any of the eleven males from Polillo.
