The family Promeropidae is here divided into two subfamilies. 



The first, Nectariniinae, contains the following genera — Pachyglossa, Myzantlie, Dicceum, 

 Drepanis, Hemignathus, Nectarinia, Cinnyris, Antlireptes, and Arachnotliera. 



The second subfamily, Promeropinae, only contains Promerops. 



His Nectarinia comprises the following genera recognized by me — Hedydipna, Nectarinia, 

 Anthobaphes, and JEthopyga ; and he includes in it Cinnyris adelberti. 



His Cinnyris comprises Chalcostetha and Cinnyris of this work, as well as Hedydipna metal- 

 lica, Antlireptes collaris, A. rectirostris, A. simplex, and A. phcenicotis. 



His Antlireptes includes Cinnyricinclus melasoma, Less., which does not belong to our 

 family. 



His Arachnotliera comprises Arachnotliera and Arachnoraphis, and includes Cinnyris novce- 

 guinece, Less., which I do not refer to this family.
