| A description of two apparently overlooked species of Flycatchers, of the genus Arses. By R. Bowdler Sharpe, F. L. S., F. Z. S. etc. Senior assistant, Department of Zoology, British Museum. If it were a rule in Ornithology that species could only be described from the male birds, it is quite certain that some very different birds would be unchronicled. It often happens that two allied species are quite distinct as regards the males, and yet the females and young are indistinguishable one from the other. Cases in which the males are alike and the respective females quite different, are far rarer in ornithology, and yet a very positive case occurs in the genus Edoliisoma among the Campophagidae and another instance may apparently be found in the genus Arses... |

S. etc. In the course of examination of the genus Gerygone I encountered tlie greatest difficulty in classifying and arranging the species, which are very numerous, but I found at last that it would be better to divide the genus into two, for which the wing-formula proved a great assistance. Thus all the species of true Gerygone, of which G. albigularis (Gould) is the type, have the second primary lengthened, and exceeding the secondaries. The species which I place in this genus are the following: 1. Gerygone albigularis (Gould). Hab. Australia. 2. » cinerascens, Sharpe. Hab. S. E. New Guinea. 3. » inornata, Wall.... |
