This well-marked species has been found in Nipal and Sikhim. 

 I procured specimens from the neighbourhood of Darjeeling. 



The next group contains two Indian species, which differ from 

 Regnloides by having the markings on the head more pronounced, 

 and darker, and the colours more vivid. The bill too is consider- 

 ably wider and more Fly-catcher like. 



Gen. Culicipeta, Blyth. 



Char. — Bill depressed, rather wide, but evenly attenuating, 

 moderately slender, ridge of the culmen well marked; rictal 

 bristles well developed ; claws longer and less curved ; otherwise as 

 in Pliyllo scopus, or Eeguloides.
