Chlamydochæra, generi "Edoliisoma" dicto maxime affinis, sed primario primo abbreviato et pictura insignissima et insolita facile distinguenda. 7. CHLAMYDOCHÆRA JEFFERYI, sp. n. Adult male. General colour above dark French grey; wing-coverts like the back, the greater series rather paler externally, with concealed black bases ... I have named this species after Mr. Jeffery Whitehead, the traveller's father, by whose aid and encouragement Mr. John Whitehead has been enabled to carry out his ornithological expeditions."
