On Some Birds from Santa Marta, Colombia. 143 



Dacnis napaea sp. nov. 



2 specimens, adult (j\ young <^ 1 in plumage like that of 9- 



Ti/pe from Santa Marta, Colombia, No. 5478, cT adult, coll. of E. A. 

 and 0. Bangs. Collected Jan. 18, 1898, by W. W. Brown, Jr. 



Specific characters. Adult $, about the size of D. coerebicolor or rather 

 larger; wing about the same or longer; bill much larger longer and 

 stouter; color pattern the same; the blue color an intense cobalt blue, 

 very different from the dark purplish blue of D. coerebicolor ; feet flesh 

 color. 



Size. c? adult, wing, 69 ; tail, 47 ; exposed culmen, 7.6. 



Remarks. D. napxa needs comparison with but one species, D. coerebi 

 color. This comparison I have been able to make, the National Museum 

 having a considerable series of Bogota skins. The very large bill and 

 bright blue color of D. napxa mark the Santa Marta bird as specifically 

 distinct from the small-billed dark purplish blue D. coerebicolor of Bogota.
