This species may be distinguished from P. rJiodopeplus by its rather 
smaller and a trifle more Pyrrhuline bill ; the colour of the male 
above being hair-brown, centred with blackish, and the lesser range 
of wing-coverts only are crimson-tipped ; whereas, in P. rJiodopeplus, 
the male above is dark crimson-brown, and has loth ranges of wing- 
coverts and the tertiaries crimson-tipped. 
The female of P. Thura (which has not hitherto been noticed) may 
be distinguished from the same sex oi rhodopeplus by being paler above, 
and having paler centres to the feathers ; the colour of the under- 
parts being considerably more uniform, and having also but faint 
centres to the feathers. P. rhodopeplus is a trifle larger than P. Thura. 
These birds have been compared by the Prince C. L. Bonaparte, 
and his Highness also verifies their distinctness.
