I have not seen a specimen of this flycatcher and no good description of it is available.[60] The above description is compiled from that of C. montis. By an oversight C. montis has been credited to Palawan by Sharpe and by McGregor and Worcester; as the only specimen of flycatcher warbler from Palawan is the type of C. xanthopygia, the former species must be stricken from the list of Philippine birds.

Genus EUMYIAS Cabanis, 1850.

Bill broad and depressed; width at nostril nearly twice the depth; rictal bristles moderate; the wing exceeds the tail by less than length of tarsus; first primary more than one-half of second and less than one-half of third; fourth and fifth nearly equal and longest; tarsus twice the bill from nostril. This genus is similar to Cyornis, but in Eumyias the sexes are alike in colors and nearly the entire plumage is verditer-blue.
