• "2.  DRYMŒCA  HÆSITATA, sp. nov.  ...  This little Drymœca (with ten rectrices), of which there is but one specimen in the collection, is so very like the well-known D. madagascariensis, that at first sight we considered it to be identical.  But after a more accurate study we have changed our opinion.  The Socotran species is altogether a smaller bird; and the relative dimensions are different, the tail being decidedly longer in D. hæsitata.  It is also differently coloured" (P. Sclater & Hartlaub 1881) (Cisticola).

Puffino, at magnitudo et varii characteres evincunt, hanc diversae esse speciei.  Corpus magnitudine Proc. glacialis vel paulo maius.  ...  (*) Proc. hasitata Kuhl Beitr. p. 142.  Temm.
