NECTARINIA CHRYSOGENYS. TEMM. ... Remarque. Nous venons de trouver dans les papiers de notre défunt ami Van Hasselt, que cet oiseau et les deux espèces figurée sur notre planche 84 sous les noms de Souimanga à long bec et Souimanga modeste se nourrissent uniquement d'araignées et qu'ils ont la langue courte et cartilagineuse. Cette seule remarque, toute succincte quelle soit, suffit cependant pour exclure ces oiseaux du genre Nectarinia; nous attendrons de nouveaux renseignemens qui pourront être fournis par les voyageurs Boié, Macklot et Muller, et nous publierons alors les caractères propres à ce petit groupe, qui portera la dénomination générique d'Arachnothera."
