DEFINITIONS

CYANOPTILA
(Muscicapidae; † Blue-and-white Flycatcher C. cyanomelana) Gr. κυανος kuanos  dark-blue; πτιλον ptilon  plumage; "Cyanoptila, nobis .  I found this group on a Javanese [sic] Flycatcher, which is just intermediate (both in form and colouring) to the preceding [Niltava] and following [Stoporala] divisions, in neither of which it can be placed; and it thus illustrates the affinities of Niltava.  Its wings, however, are longer than in either, and more pointed, reaching fully half-way down the tail; and the beak is rather broader and flatter than in Niltava, but vertically deep, having the tomiæ much inflected: rictal bristles small and inconspicuous.  Rest as in Stoporala; the frontal feathers deflected from the base of the bill, without any of the reflex velvety plumes conspicuous in Niltava.    C. cyanomelanura, (Tem.)  Upper-parts deep Prussian-blue; the crown and shoulders of the wing ultramarine; and nearly half of the base of the tail pure white; lores, ear-coverts, throat and breast blue-black; belly and lower tail-coverts sullied white; and flanks brown." (Blyth 1847); "Cyanoptila Blyth, 1847, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 16, p. 124.  Type, by original designation, Muscicapa cyanomelana Temminck." (Watson in Peters, 1986, XI, p. 354).
