Summary

The morphology ot the humerus corrobates the placement of the endemic Bornean genusChlamydochaera with the thrushes in the family Muscicapidae and further negates any possible relationship with the Campephagidae. On plumage and zoogeographical grounds,Chlamydochaera is suggested as being closely related to the turdine genusCochoa.

Zusammenfassung

Die Morphologie des Humerus stützt die Ansicht, die auf Borneo endemische GattungChlamydochaera mit den Drosseln in der Familie Muscicapidae zusammenzufassen. Sie spricht gegen eine mögliche Beziehung zu den Campephagidae. Nach Gefiedermerkmalen und aus tiergeographischen Gesichtspunkten ist anzunehmen, daßChlamydochaera der DrosselgattungCochoa nahesteht.
