DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SUBSPECIES OF 
MANACUS CANDET (PARZUD.). 
BY OUTRAM BANGS. 
It has been customary to give the range of Aanacus candei' as 
extending from southern Mexico to Costa Rica, the species having 
been described originally from specimens from Truxillo, Hon- 
duras. 
Last winter Mr. W. W. Brown, Jr., secured a large series of speci- 
mens at Ceiba, Honduras, (spelled on some maps Laceiba) less 
than a hundred miles west of the type locality. Both towns are in 
the hot coastal plain, and the faunal conditions are undoubtedly 
the same at each place. Therefore Mr. Brown’s specimens can be 
considered as being practically topotypes of true Manacus candet 
(Parzud.). On comparing these skins with a large series from 
Buena Vista, Vera Cruz, Mexico, a very great difference in color 
in the adult males is at once obvious, and the Mexican form must 
be distinguished by name. Besides the pronounced differences in 
color, the Mexican form averages slightly larger than the more 
southern true JZ candei. It may be known by the following brief 
diagnosis.
