58 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol.51. 



Suhspecific characters. — Most closely related to Pardaliparus ele- 

 gans albescens (McGregor), with which it agrees in the clear yellow 

 color of the under parts, sides of head, and nuchal patch, but differs 

 in having less black on the upper back and the back and rump over- 

 washed with pale greenish gray instead of white. In jyanayensis the 

 scapulars are almost as heavily blotched with white terminal spots as 

 in albescens, and the white terminal spotting of the wing-coverts, ter- 

 tials, secondaries, and inner primaries have about the same extent. 

 The white spots on the middle portion of the outer webs of the four 

 outer rectrices are smaller in panayensis, as are also the apical white 

 spots. 



Measurements of type (adult male). — Wing, 64; tail, 39; culmen, 

 9 (about; extreme tip gone) ; tarsus, 17.

 Type-spedrmn.—Kdiu\t{1) female, Cat. No. 101448, U.S.N.M. ; col- 

 lected on the Island of Guimaras, Philippine Islands, December 28, 

 1887, by D. C. Worcester. (No original number.) 



Subspec'i-fi,c characters. — Most closely related to Pardaliparus cle- 

 gans mindanensis Mearns, from which it differs principally in being 

 of duller coloration, with less black on the upper back, and with the 

 back, scapulars, and rump dull yellowish gray, with a tendency to 

 pale yellowish central or apical spots to the feathers of the mantle, 

 and a greenish wash on the rump. As in mindanensis, the white wing- 

 spots are washed with yellow. The imder parts, sides of head and 

 neck, and the elongated nuchal patch are slightly deeper yellow than 

 in panayensis. 



Measurements of type (adult female). — Wing, 03; tail, 38; culmen, 

 10; tarsus, 16. 



Remarks. — Possibly the type-specimen is subadult, although it has 

 the black on head and throat and was killed late in the month of 

 December.
