This species is closely allied to A. poliogenys, but differs from it in 
having the lores, base of lower mandible, lower portion of the ear- 
coverts, chin and throat, the same bright yellow as the rest of the 
under-parts ; the feathers of the crown are pale shafted, which does 
not appear in poliogenys ; the tail is pale dusky, the two outer 
feathers only being white on the apical portion of the inner web, the 
basal portion of which is dusky ; the outer web in both is pale 
dusky green ; the other ten are fringed with greenish on the outer 
web. The wing in affinis is \ in. longer, but has the same markings ; 
the tarsus is also longer by in. : other characters agree in both 
species. The bill in this and poliogenys is broader than in A. xaniho- 
schistos, H.
