106 BANGS — A NEW MANACUS ee 
lManacus candei electilis' subsp. nov. 
Type, from Buena Vista, Vera Cruz, Mexico, g adult, no, 2469, coll. of 
E. A. and O. Bangs, collected June 10, 1901, by A. E. Colburn and Percy W. 
Shufeldt. 
Characters. — Slightly larger than true J/. candex of Honduras — wing 
averaging 55.8 mm. in the new form, as against 54.6 mm. in true JZ. candez ; 
under parts, below the white jugulum, pale lemon yellow with decided greenish 
tinge (the same area in true JZ. cande? is intense chrome yellow) ; rump and 
upper tail coverts much darker and more dingy oil green (in true J/. candez 
the lower rump is often decidedly yellowish, and the green color of the upper 
part of rump and upper tail coverts is a bright yellowish oil green). 
The above characters are based wholly on adult males. Mr. 
Brown took females of true AZ. candez, but I have been unable to 
find females of the Mexican bird for comparison, though I have 
examined many males. As the females of other species and sub- 
species of Manacus are distinguishable by good color characters, 
it is probable that the females of A/anacus candei candei and 
of Manacus candet electilis can be easily told apart. 
1 Blectilis — dainty.
