BUTHRAUPIS CiERULEIGULARIS Cherrie. 

 CHERRIES TANAGER. 



Similar to B. arccei^ but larg^er; sides and flanks extensivcl}^ and 

 uniformly dusky bluish; chin and throat dull indigo blue, scarcely 

 darker than pilemn, and under wing-coverts light yellow without con- 

 cealed dusky spots. 



Adult male. — Head (all round), hindneck, sides of neck, entire upper 

 parts, sides, and flanks, uniform dull indigo blue, the larger wing- 

 coverts, remiges, and rectrices, however, dull black, except on edges; 

 chest and breast (except laterally), belly, anal region, and under tail- 

 coverts bright yellow, changing gradually from rich Indian 3^ellow on 

 the chest to lemon yellow on the under tail-coverts; axillars canary 

 yellow; under wing-coverts mixed primrose yellow and white; inner 

 webs of remiges dull brownish gray, paler on edges, these becoming 

 whitish toward base; thighs uniform dusky indigo blue; bill entirelv 

 black; legs dusky horn color; feet dull blackish; length (skin), about 

 142.2 (tail imperfect); wing, 86.9; exposed culmen, 15.2; depth of bill 

 at base, 8.9; tarsus, 21.6; middle toe, 15.2. 



Although apparently very different from B. arccei in the exten- 

 sively and uniformly dusky sides and flanks, this form is so closely 

 similar in other features of coloration that possibly it may only repre- 

 sent an extreme variation of that species. At any rate, additional 

 specimens will be necessary to establish its validity.
