BIRDS FROM NORTHERN MINDANAO. 73 



PITTID/E. 



Pitta erythrogaster Temminck. 



One adult male from Caga_yan and one immature female from Butiian. 



MUSCICAPID/E. 

 Muscicapula basilanica (Shaipe). 



One male in poor jjlumage, Sei^tember 21. 

 Hypothymis occipitalis (Vigors). 



One male specimen of tliis common blue flycatcher. 

 RInipidura supercillaris (Sharpe). 



One male. This species seems to belong- in the genus Rliifidura 

 rather than in Hypothymis. 



Camiguinia Helena (Steere). 



The little blue flycatcher, which was described from Camiguin Island 

 as Camiguinia pcrsonata, proves to be the same as Gyanomyias liclena' 

 Steere. Nevertheless I believe that the genus Camiguinia is a valid one. 

 A number of specimens were collected in northern Mindanao which is a 

 new localit}- for this species. 



Cyanomyias ccelestis ( Tweeddale ) . 



One male and one female. 

 Zeocephus cinnamomeus Shaipe. 



Two males without elongated central tail-feathers. 



Rhinomyias ruficauda (Sharpe). 



Six specimens from Mindanao differ in no way from others collected 

 by us in Bohol and Basilan. 



Cryptoloplia olivacea (Moseley). 

 Two specimens from Butuan. 



CAIVIPOPHAGID/E. 

 Artamides kochi Kutter. 



One pair of this well-marked species was taken at Butuan on No- 

 vember 20. 



Lalage minor (Steere). 



Three males and two females from Butuan. This species, while 

 similar to L. melanoleuca, is considerably smaller and the female has 

 the throat and breast nearly uniform gray, not barred as in L. mela- 

 noleuca. A young male resembles the female, but has the throat and 

 breast barred with white. 



Lalage niger (Forster). 

 One specimen.'
