LAMPROCORAX PANAYENSIS RHADINORHAMPHUS Oberholscr. 



Lamprocorax clialyheus rhadinorMmphus Oberholser, Smiths. INIisc. Coll., 

 A'ol. 60, No. 7, October 26, 1912, p. 17 (Simahir Island, western Sumatra). 



A single adult female, No. 179871, U.S.N.M., taken at Sibabo 

 Bay on October 24, 1902, agrees with the type of Lamprocorax pa- 

 naye7isis rhadinorhamphus., but is even duller, and with an e\en more 

 pronounced purplish bronzy sheen, both above and below. The iris iv 

 given on the label as red. 



This Simalur Island subspecies appears to be most closely allied to 

 Lamprocorax panayensid altirostris (Salvadori), but it differs from 

 that in its duller plumage, with a more purplish bronzy (less purely 

 greenish) sheen, especially on the upper surface, and in usually 

 soir.ev^hat more slender bill. From Sumatran examples of Lampro- 

 corax panayensis strigatus (Horsfield) it may be distinguished by its 

 much heavier bill, and by the same peculiarities of plumage as from 

 Lamprocorax panayensis altirostris.
