Dr. Reichenow has united T. shelleyi with T. erythro¬ 
cephalus Cab., but the two are really very distinct species. 
T. shelleyi is considerably smaller than T. erythrocephalus , 
the wing o£ the former measuring 3-3*2 inches and of the 
latter 3*9 inches. Moreover, T. shelleyi has much less crimson 
on the cheeks and eyebrows as well as on the throat; whereas 
T. erythrocephalus has the cheeks, eyebrows, and crown 
almost entirely crimson, the bill much heavier and of a much 
deeper red. T. versicolor Hartl., another allied form, differs 
from both the above-named species in having the under tail- 
coverts yellow, and from T. shelleyi in being much larger.
