Tt is with regret we must record that hypogrammica as 

 the name of this species of snnbird must give way to macularia 

 Blyth. Anthreptes macularia was founded on a female from 

 Ala! area and although Blyth a rear later regarded this name 

 as a nomen nudum and described a male from Singapore as 

 Anthreptes nuchaMs Mourn. Asiat. Sod. Bengal XII (1843) 

 p. 980) yet the diagnosis attached " allied in plumage I 

 Arachnotherae " is perfectly adequate and his earlier name
