Chlorostilbon caribbeus lessoni SIMON and DELMAS: This supposed race (type 

 from Andes of Cumana, Cuidad, Bolivar, northern Venezuela) agrees with birds from 

 Trinidad and Curacao in length of bill, tail, etc., but the breast averages more 

 bluish (cf. Berlepsch & Hartert, Nov. Zool., IX, 1902, p. 86, in text, also, Hellmayr, 

 Nov. Zool., XIII, 1906, p. 35.) 



b Chlorostilbon caribaeus nanus BERLEPSCH and HARTERT: Differs in having 

 shorter bill, slightly less forked tail and breast more or less tinged with bluish green; 

 very close to C. c. caribaeus LAWRENCE, and may not be separable.
