Heteranax, Sharpe, gen. nov. (erfpor = alter, «i/a^ = rex) is closely allied 

 to the Australian genus Sizura ; but the bill is narrower, less flattened 

 and strongly compressed, so that it is higher than broad at the notrils.

 This species seems to be allied to M. moro- 

 tensis, M. hernsteini and M. nigrimentum, but 

 has an unusually compressed bill, of which ^^^^^ surface bpper surface 

 the gonys is slightly curved upwards. - -- - . P. Sr

There are 14 specimens of this apparently new and very distinct 

 JRhipidura in the collection, from the three localities above mentioned. 

 The irides are marked " dark brown," and the legs and feet "black." 



The bill is broad and robust, and the rectrices but slightly graduated, 

 the external being only about Ol inch shorter than the middle pair ; so 

 that the species would appear to come in the same division as Nos. 12 

 and 13 of Count Salvadori's list.
