Type : $ ad., Takar, November 1896. William Doherty leg. 



(Ogilvie-Grant, Ibis, Jubilee Suppl. II. p. 160, 1915, says that our dohertyi 

 is " almost certainly identical " with cyanocephala. As all the four females from 

 Takar have the upperside conspicuously darker chestnut, there is no reason to 

 think that they are " almost certainly identical," though a large series might 

 possibly prove this to be the case. Many birds from the northern coast [Takar, 

 etc.] differ from those of the more western parts of Dutch New Guinea.)
