MACROPYGIA EMILIANA HYPOPERCNA Oberholser. 



Macropygia emiUana hypopercna Oberholser. Smitbs. Misc. Coll., vol. t>0. 

 No. 7, October 26. 1912, p. 2 (Sibabo Bny, Siiimlur Island, western Su- 

 matra > . 



One specimen, the type, a jiivenal, nearly adult, sex unknown, No. 

 179591), U.S.N.M., taken, October 26, 1902^. The color of the bill is 

 given as "pale pinky brown.'' 



This race, which appears to be peculiar to Simalur Island, differs 

 f I'om Macropygia cmiliana elassa,^ of North Pagi Island, in its darker 

 rump; more richly colored, usually darker, lower surface; darker 

 chin, which is thus but little if any different from the color of the 

 cheeks, not pale buffy as in Mari'opygia eiviliana eJassa; and in the 

 more brightly colored under surface of tail, the tips of the roctrices 

 being much more richly rufescent. 



It is not, however, as incorrectly stated in the original description,^ 

 larger than Macropygia emiliana elassa, but of practically the same 

 size. 



From Macropygia emiliana modiglianii Salvadori, of Nias Island, 

 the present subspecies differs in its smaller size, darker rump and 

 lower parts, and particularly darker and more uniform, not distinctly 

 buffy, chin. Compared with Macropygia emiliana emiliana from 

 Java, it is somewhat larger; decidedly lighter, more brightly rufous 

 above, especially on the wings; more richly or brightly rufescent on 

 the lower .surface, wath rufous of under surface of tail lighter, and 

 with chin darker, not conspicuously buffy or whitish in contrast to 

 the throat and cheeks. 



The measurements of the type of Macropygia emiliana hypopercna 

 are: wdng, 171.5 mm.; tail, 180; exposed culmen, 18; tarsus, 25; mid- 

 dle toe without claw, 24.5.
