Show 1878.] MR. A. G. BUTLER ON NEW LEPIDOPTERA. 381 Axillaries, wing-lining, and shoulder-edge pure white. Bill, in dried skins, black. Wing 1*95, tail 1*00, tarsus 037, culmen 0*37. This Flower-pecker closely resembles Myzanthe pygmcea 2 • It differs in wanting the lively olive-green colouring of the upper plumage of M. pygmcea 2 > more especially on the uropygium, and the pale yellowish-green lores. The wing too is longer, that of M. pygmcea measuring 1*70. If the sex noted on the label is correct, this Panaon Dicceum is very distinct from M. pygmcea d • If the genus Myzanthe, as distinct from Dicceum, is to be retained, D. modestum should belong to it. 19.
