Parker Received 10th December, 1963 Culicicapa contains two predominantly yellow-green and bright yellow flycatchers, C. ceylonensis (lndo-Malaya, China) and C. helianthea (Philippines and Celebes). Vaurie, (1953) in a paper dealing with the Muscicapini, concludes that Culicicapa might prove referable to the Rhipidurini upon further study. The purpose of this note is to show that there are adequate grounds for including Culicicapa in the latter tribe. Vaurie () shows that Culicicapa differs from all muscicapine genera in the arrangement and number of the rictal setae. This feature of Culi- cicapa is repeated in all species of Rhipidura. As regards habits, Vaurie considers Culicicapa to be far more restless and gregarious than the rest of the Muscicapini. Salim Ali (1949) describes the ceaseless acrobatics and foraging of C. ceylonensis. Smythies (1953) also notes tail-fanning in this species. According to Heinroth (in Strese- mann 1940) C. helia
