20 12:2 Black + white stripes wige of Willywagtail. 12:2 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.
