Family DICAEIDAE. 
~ DICAEUM TRIGONOSTIGMUM HYPOCHLOUM, new subspecies. 
Subspecific characters.—Similar to Dicaeum trigonostigmum trigono- 
stigmum,' from the Malay Peninsula, but male with gray of throat and 
slaty blue of upper parts and wings paler; juvenal female duller, 
more grayish (less greenish) above, and less yellowish below. 
Description.—Type, immature male, No. 170972, U.S.N.M.; Pulo 
Siantan, Anamba Islands, September 8, 1899; Dr. W. L. Abbott. 
Pileum, cervix, back, scapulars, sides of head, and sides of neck, 
rather light slaty blue (but still much mixed with the olive green 
and grayish olive feathers of the juvenal plumage); rump and 
shorter upper tail-coverts saffron yellow; longest upper tail-coverts 
slaty blue lke the upper parts; tail-feathers fuscous, narrowly 
margined with dull olive green; wings fuscous, the superior coverts 
and quill-edgings mostly slaty blue, the inner margin of basal portion 
of primaries and secondaries white; chin and throat light blue gray; 
breast and sides cadmium orange; abdomen, flanks, and crissum, 
wax yellow, the middle of abdomen lighter; thighs pale yellowish 
gray; lining of wing yellowish white. 
Four specimens are in the collection, as follows: 
1 This specific name is derived from Tplywvos and 67iyua; and when Latinized should undoubtedly be 
treated as an adjective. Thus after dicaewm, a neuter name, it should be trigonostigmum, not trigono- 
stigma, as usually written.
