Diphyllodes seleucides, Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part vi. (1896). — Meyer, Abhandl. k, zool. Mus. Dresden, vii. 
no. 2, p. 49 (1898). 
Diphyllodes magnificus, pt., Rothschild, Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 30 (1898). 
The lion. Walter Rothschild has united all the species of Diphyllodes together, as he finds every gradation 
in the colour of the wings. I must say myself that after examining his series of specimens, it is extremely 
difficult to say where one species ends and the other begins ; and yet I feel certain that when the different 
ranges of mountains in New Guinea are worked by competent collectors, a definite range will he assigned to 
each of these closely allied species of Diphyllodes. 
3. Diphyllodes chrysoptera.

Diphyllodes magnificus, pt., Rothschild, Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 36 (1898). 
This is the bird which I considered to be the ordinary adult yellow-winged Diphyllodes of the Astrolabe 
Range, and the orange-winged birds, now separated as D. hunsteini , I looked upon as merely very old 
individuals. Dr. Meyer asserts that the colours of these birds change after the skin has been prepared. 
Dr. Loria’s specimens were procured in the Moroka district in July, August, and September. The male 
had the iris chestnut, the bill sky-blue, and the feet blue. In a female the iris was chestnut, the hill sky- 
blue or pearly grey, and the feet blue or ultramarine. 
5. Diphyllodes hunsteini. 
Diphyllodes hunsteini, Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part v. (1895). — Salvad. Ann. Mus. Genov. (2) xvi. p. 109 
(1896). — Meyer, Abhandl. k. zool. Mus. Dresden, vii. no. 2, p. 49 (1898). 
Diphyllodes magnificus, pt., Rothschild, Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 36 (1898). 
Dr. Loria has met with this species at Hughibagu on the Hunter River in the Astrolabe Range. The iris 
was chestnut, the bill sky-blue or pearly grey, and the feet sky-blue or cobalt (cf. Salvad. i. c.). 
I have figured this species, which has deep orange-coloured wings, as the very old bird of the preceding. 
The two upper figures represent D. xanthoptera, and I am not yet convinced that the two species are really 
distinct, after what one sees of the variation in the yellow and orange colour of the wings in D. seleucides.
