Lalage leucopygia simillima Sarasin
Range.- Maré, Lifu, Uvea, New
Hebrides.
Description.- As in New Hebrides.
Habitat.- Forest (?)
Food.- Caterpillars, small fruit (?)
Collecting.- A good series is
important; this subspecies differs from
leucopygia from New Caledonia by the
greater extent of white on the tips
of the tail-feathers. I have
identified specimens from the New
Hebrides as simillima because they
show the same character, but I have
never compared them because we have
no material from the Loyalty Islands.
