One is tempted to distinguish two species, one with the female brown, 

 another with blue upperside, tut considering the very great similarity of the 

 males of some forms I treat all these birds, as subspecies of banyumas, which is 

 the oldest name of the group. 



I would thus recognize the following forms known to me : 



Cyornis banyumas banyumas (Horsf.), Java. 

 „ „ rufigastra (Rafla.), Sumatra. 



This bird has apparently not been found again and the type is not in the 

 British Museum ! It was supposed to be the same as banyumas, but, considering 

 that every other island has different forms, it is much more probable that the 

 Sumatran form is also different ! Eecent collectors have not procured this 

 species at aU. It is also possible that rufigastra was caeruleata, which is apparently 

 the older name of nigrigularis ; we have received a skin of this latter species 

 said to have been shot in Palembang, S.E. Sumatra, by a Mr. Volcker. 



Cyornis banyumas dialilaema (Salvad.). Apparently Malay Peninsula and 

 Burmese provinces.
