For a long time we were disappointed in not being able 
to discover this very distinct species, though it was very 
diligently searched for. It was at last obtained on a lofty 
tree in very dense jungle, whereas the other species of 
Zosterops are found often on low shrubs and bushes in much 
more open situations. 
Its range in altitude must be circumscribed at the upper 
limit by the extraordinary abundance of Z. montana and at 
lower levels by Z. buxtont, which, however, is not such a 
dominant species.

common character a well marked median abdominal stripe of 
bright yellow.
