Chloronerpes yucatanensis alleni 1 subsp. nov. 



C/iloronerpes yucatanensis uropygialis (Cab.), Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. 

 Hist., Vol. XIII, p. 136. 



Type, from San Sebastian, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, 6600 

 feet altitude, $ adult, no. 6943, coll. of E. A. and O. Bangs, collected July 20,

A fine series of C. y. uropygialis, obtained by Mr. Brown in Chiriqui, proves 

 the Santa Marta bird, formerly called by this name by both Dr. Allen and 

 myself, to be very different. The new bird has the back bright reddish olive, 

 thus agreeing with C. y. uropygialis of Central America, and differing from 

 true C. yucatanensis of Mexico, in which the back is green. It differs from 

 C. y. uropygialis in averaging a little larger; in having the whole under parts 

 much more evenly barred, the darker bars much more dusky, less olivaceous; 

 in the ground color of belly being much paler — olive yellow (olivaceous wax- 

 yellow in uropygialis) ; in lacking the strong reddish olive of jugulum and 

 breast of uropygialis — in the new bird these parts are scarcely darker than 

 lower breast and belly ; in having the under tail covert, sharply banded with 

 dusky ; in having the ground color and quills of the two outer tail feathers 

 more golden, less olivaceous ; and in having these feathers barred with dusky 

 on outer webs (instead of plain) and much more broadly edged with dusky on 

 inner webs.

Soon after I recorded this bird from the Santa Marta Mountains, 

 I found I was wrong in calling it striaticollis, and I have since been 

 awaiting an opportunity to describe it. In order to be sure of my 

 ground — as Dr. Allen had in the mean time recorded his series as 

 Anabazanops striaticollis — I again, last autumn, in company with 



1 Named for Dr. J. A. Allen, in recognition of his elaborate paper on the birds of this region. 



2 A nxius — uneasy.
