70 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES, 



Lalage aurea (Temm.), PI. Col. livr. lxiv. pi. 382. fig. 2, " Timor " (21st December 

 1825); Bp. Consp. i. p. 355; Coll. Delattre, p. 78; Hartlaub, J. fur Orn. 1865, 

 p. 168. 

 This species is stated to occur in Celebes by Bonaparte and Dr. Hartlaub. Mr. 



Wallace, however, is of opinion that it cannot be considered a Celebean bird. 



Aetamides, Hartlaub. 



89. Aetamides bicoloe (Temm.), PI. Col. livr. xlvii. pi. 278, " Sumatra " (!) (June 26, 



1824); S. Miiller, Verh. Land- en Volk. p. 191, " Celebes; " G. R. Gray, Hand- 

 list, no. 5091, " Banda, Celebes, Sumatra." 



Hab. Menado (mus. nostr.). 



Salomon Miiller (I. c.) expressly states that this species inhabits Celebes, and neither 

 Sumatra nor Banda. 



DICRURIDvE. 



Diceueits, Vieillot. 



90. Diceueus leitcops, Wallace, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 478, "Celebes." 

 Hab. Macassar, Menado {Wallace). 



Closely resembles D. pectoralis, Wallace, of the Sula Islands, but is somewhat larger 

 in all its dimensions. The irides are stated by Mr. Wallace to be invariably milk- 

 white, while in the Sula species and in all others known they are red. 



The type of Vieillot's genus Dicrurus, Corvus balicassius, L., appears to stand alone ; 

 and it will be perhaps necessary to form a separate genus for the reception of all the 

 Austro-Malayan Dicruridse, whose aflinities seem to be with Chibia, Hodgs. 



NECTAEINIID^E. 



Nectaeinik^e. 



Aeachnotheea, Temminck. • 



91. Aeachnotheea 1 



Arachnothera longirostra (Lath.), S. Miiller, Verhandel. Zool. Aves, p. 69, ex Celebes. 



I have not had an opportunity of examining an example of the Celebean Arachno- 

 thera, and am therefore unable to determine its correct title. 



Antheeptes, Swainson. 



92. Antheeptes malaccensis (Scopoli), Del.Fl. et Faun. Insub. ii. p. 90. no. 62 (1786); 

 Walden, Ibis, 1870, p. 47. no. 38. 



Hab. Celebes (Wallace); Menado (mus. nostr.); Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Malacca
