Numbers indicate nucleotide substitution positions and perpendicular lines indicate one nucleotide substitution in the COI sequence. The open circle represents a hypothetical ancestor for the Comoran subspecies. 1988, Ferguson-Lees & Christie 2001). It is assumed that the three Comoran taxa are derived from Madagascar stock (Louette 2004). Sexes on Mada- gascar ( francesiae Smith, 1834) have well-differ- entiated plumages. Adult males are dark gray above with a paler head, the underside is white and thinly barred rufous to gray-brown on breast and upper flanks. Adult females are larger and browner above than males, with broader and much more profuse barring below. Juveniles resemble the female but are a richer and more rufous-brown above, and have broader and browner bars below. The sexual dimor- phism in plumage pattern is much less pronounced in the three Comoran subspecies, which are also slightly smaller than A. f. francesiae (del Hoyo et al. 1994, Herremans et al. 2001, unpublished data from ML: material at NHM, Tring, UK). On Grand Comoro {A. f griveaudi Benson, 1960) and Anjouan [A. f pusillus (Gurney, 1875)], A. francesiae is mor- phologically similar to male A. f. francesiae, in both sexes. The subspecies from Grand Comoro has a salmon flush on the breast. In the subspecies from 134.
