Muscadivores palmasensis Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909),
36, 436.
"Characters.--Closely related to Muscadivores pickeringi from
Mangsee Island, north of Borneo, on the west side of the Sulu Sea;
also to Muscadivores langhornei Mearns, from West Bolod Island,
southeast of the Sulu Sea and near the Island of Basilan. From the
type of pickeringi (Cat. No. 15,732 U. S. N. M.) it differs in being
paler, with much less vinaceous color on the chin, throat, breast,
and under tail-coverts. The wing is 10 mm. shorter. From langhornei,
which it resembles more closely in the coloration of the under parts,
it can be distinguished at a glance by the dark color of the mantle,
rump, and upper tail-coverts.
"Adult male (type, killed January 21).--Head, neck, upper back, and
upper parts, lilac-gray, purest on the upper side of the neck and
upper back, washed with vinaceous on crown, ear-coverts, and breast,
fading to whitish around base of bill, and shading to drab-gray on
legs and crissum; scapulars, back, rump, and wing-coverts mouse-gray,
lustrous in a certain light; wing-quills and upper tail-coverts dark
mouse-gray, with subdued reflections of violet, coppery, and green;
rectrices lustrous golden green above, smoke-gray below; flanks,
axillars, and lining of wings clear gray. An adult male topotype
in fresh plumage, shot by Dr. Paul C. Freer, October 7, 1906, only
differs from the type in being appreciably darker. The sexes are
practically alike in size and color.
"Colors of soft parts.--Two mated pairs, about to breed, had the soft
parts colored exactly alike, January 21, 1906: Iris red; eyelids and
feet vinaceous; claws dusky purplish gray; bare space surrounding
eye, pale plumbeous; bill pale bluish gray at tip, darker plumbeous
at base. Testicles functionally enlarged.
"Measurements of two adult males (type and topotype measured fresh
by the author).--Total length, 420, 430 mm.; alar expanse, 735, 750;
wing, 240, 240; tail, 156, 160; culmen (chord), 20, 20; tarsus, 32,
34; middle toe with claw, 46, 49." (Mearns.)
