This example is unfortunately the only one of this species collected by Mr. LORENTZ, 

 and moreover still immature. We may suppose however, that it belongs to the form described 

 by D'Albertis and Salvadori from the Fly River. Aprosmictus callopterus is nearly allied to 

 A. chloropterus Ramsay from southeastern New Guinea, the latter form is only an eastern 

 représentative of the former. Head, sides of face, hindneck, upperback and wings in our 

 spécimen are green ; throat, foreneck and breast olive-green with dull red edges to the feathers ;
