(No. 165.) [ Type of the species .] 
Though allied to L. thoracica (Blyth) and L. mandellii 
(Brooks), this Grasshopper-Warbler may be at once dis¬ 
tinguished by having the upper parts of a darker and richer 
brown, tinged with rufous on the lower back and rump. 
The buff-coloured chest is separated from the white of the 
throat by a fairly well-marked band of blackish spots, the 
sides of the body and flanks are dull rusty brown, and the 
under tail-coverts uniform dull rust-colour. The first 
primary-quill is two thirds of the length of the second, 
which is about equal to the tenth ; the fourth, fifth, and 
sixth are subequal and longest. Iris brown ; upper mandible 
and the extremity of the lower blackish horn, the rest of the 
under mandible whitish. Total length about 6 # 0 inches, 
culmen 065, wing 2*1, tail 2*4, tarsus 0*8.
