PHCENICOTHRAUPIS SALVINI PENINSULARIS Ridgway. 

 YUCATAN ANT TANAGER. 



Adult male. — Similar ; > that of 7'. -. stt/r/'///, l)ut imich paler; abci'e 

 dull l)rick red, paler and more tiiii^ed with o-rayish on sides of pileiiin 

 and on forehead, especially the latter; wing-s grayish l)rown or dral), 

 tinged with dull reddish, the coverts and secondaries with more decid- 

 edly reddish edgings, the primaries edged with pale reddish gray; tail 

 similar in <'olor to back, but lighter (lig'htduU vinaceous-rufous) ; median 

 portion of crown and occiput scarlet, the feathers with brownish tips; 

 lores, sul)or))ital region and anterior portion of malar i-egion sooty 

 brownish; chin and lateral margin of upper throat sooty grayish; 

 throat and chest light vermilion red, l)ecoming gradually duller pos- 

 teriorly, when gradually becoming paler and moi'c tinged with gray, 

 the flanks dull vinaceous; length (skins), 18t;-i>(>ti (I'.t.S.S); wing. J)8-101: 

 (101.2); tail, S2-104 (90.1); exposed culmen, 15-17 (Kl); tarsus. -24-28 

 (26.1); middle toe, 10-lS (17).' 



hiun<ii\(re male. — Very much paler than the inunatun^ male or adult 

 female of P. s. mlviw' and much gra^'er above; upper pai'ts plain light 

 brown (broccoli brown with a tinge of wood brown), becoming more 

 ochreous or tawny brown (light raw umber) on rump and upper tail- 

 coverts; pileum (except laterally) brighter, more ochraceous (odira- 

 ceous-cinnamon); throat pale ocher yellow; rest of under parts dull 

 ochraceous, darker across chest, browner (grayish cinnamon) on sides 

 and flanks, paler (l^uff-yellowish) on abdomen. 



This form seems to be very close to 1\ 1 nsidarix^ which I have not 

 seen; but since the descriliers of P. /;/.sv/A//"/.s- compare it with Yucatan 

 specimens, which they refer to P. xalmnl., though the paler color of 

 Yucatan specimens is alluded to, J can only conclude that the main- 

 land and island l)irds are difl'erent.
