This new species is easily distinguishable frona D. nehrkorni by its back 
being red like tbe rump and top of the head, by the sooty black (instead of 
grey-brown) of the face, chin and sides of neck and breast, and the buff of the 
middle parts below. 
GENUS ACMONORHYNCHUS Oates. 
These little birds have nine primaries like Dicaeum, but the bill is not so 
long as the cranium, and very much stronger than in Dicaeum, across the nostril 
as high as it is broad; there are also no metallic tints in the plumage. It is 
known from Ceylon, the Philippines, Sangi, Celebes, and Flores.
