the District of Lampong, S.E. Sumatra. 301 
Identical with typical examples. Count Salvadori has be¬ 
stowed a fresh title, on acconnt of the hybrid construction of 
the name given by Eyton. 
55. Arachnothera chrysogenys. 
Nectarinia chrysogenys , Temm. PL Col. 388. f. 1, “Java” 
(1826). 
Certhia longirostra, Lath., Raffles, t. c. p. 299, “ Sumatra,” 
nec Lath. 
Sumatran, Bornean (N.E.), and Malaccan examples do not 
differ. 
56. Arachnothera temmincki. 
Arachnothera temmincki , Moore, Cat. E.I. C. Mus. ii. 
p. 728, “ Malacca?” (1856-58). 
One Lampong example, obtained by Mr. Buxton, is insepa¬ 
rable from Malaccan individuals. 
57. Arachnophila simplex. 
Nectarinia simplex , S. Muller, Yerh. Nat. Gesch. Ned. 
Overz. Bez., Land- en Yolkenk. p. 172, note, “Sumatra, 
Borneo ” (1843); op. cit. Zool. Aves, p. 62, t. 8. f. 4 (1846); 
Walden, Ibis, 1870, p. 31. 
Arachnophila simplex (S. Muller) ; Salvadori, t. c. p. 172. 
A single example of this rare Sun-bird ( A) is in the collec¬ 
tion. Reichenbach’s generic title, Arachnoraphis, cannot be 
used, being partly founded on a Malaccan Arachnothera [A. 
flavigastra, Eyton) and partly on the New-Ireland Nectarinia 
flavigastra, Gould ( = A.frenata). A. s£m^/e<2?,Mull.&Schlegel, 
ex Lombock, Gray’s Hand-1, no. 1370, is a true Arachno¬ 
thera from Lombock, discovered by Mr. Wallace, and has 
nothing to do with the species it is there referred to. 
« 58. JEthopyga siparaja. 
Certhia siparaja, Raffles, t. c. p. 299, “Sumatra” (1821) ; 
Walden, Ibis, 1870, p. 33. 
ADthopyga eupogon, Cab. Mus. Hein. i. p. 103, note, “ Ma¬ 
lacca, Borneo” (1850-51). 
The examples from S.E. Sumatra are identical with Ma¬ 
laccan, Pinang, and Bornean specimens. Cabanis’s title of 
eupogon must therefore fall.
