Rec. zool. Surv. India : 110(Part–3) : 119-121, 2010Short CommunicationOCCURRENCE OF HIMALAYAN RUBYTHROAT, LUSCINIA PECTORALISTSCHEBAIEWI (PRZEVALSKI), PASSERIFORMES : TURDINAE INCHHATTISGARH, INDIAINTRODUCTIONDuring the avifaunal survey of Madhya Pradesh &Chhattisgarh the present authors undertook a field tripto Achanakmar Wildlife Sanctuary during the last partof October, 2000. In the sanctuary three camps wereput up—Achanakmar, Lamni and Surhi. On 16.10.2000in the afternoon the survey team left Lamni for the lastcamp at Surhi. It was about ten kilometers fromAchanakmar on the Bilaspur road when the survey teamencountered a few tribal boys hunting birds andsquirrels with gullel. Two birds and one five stripedpalm squirrel, Funambulas pennanti Wroughton werefound in their kitty. After great persuasion the authorswere successful in managing those two birds andproceeded to surhi. It was evening when the teamreached the field camp. Of the two birds one wascommon of the area—the Eurasian Golden Oriole,Oriolus oriolus (Linnaeus). Problem started with theother small bird, though all the characters needed foridentification were present and the bird was not heavilydamaged either, the authors could not believe their eyes.The bird was identified in the field as the HimalayanRubythroat, Luscinia pectoralis tschebaiewi(Przevalski), which was confirmed after reachingZoological Survey of India Head Quarter in Kolkata.The most striking feature about the bird is that thiswas never been recorded in Chhattisgarh like here (D’Abreu 1931), Ali 1939 & 1940, Chandra & Singh 2004)and that too from such a lower elevation, as HimalayanRubythroat is basically a bird of the high altitude areas(Ali & Ripley, 1987).Field character : Forehead narrowly white, thenarrow white supercilium extends to the back of the earcoverts, moustachial streak white, back olive brown,wings brown, tail blackish brown with white base, outerretrices with white tips. Chin and throat scarlet, sidesof throat and breast deep black, belly and undertailcoverts whitish.Material examined : Chhattisgarh : Bilaspur district :1 male; Surhi, Coll. S.
