CYANONYMPHA SUPERCILIARIS SAMARENSIS (Steere). 



Hypothymis sam/it'ensis Steere, List Birds and Mammals Steere Expedition Phil- 

 ippines, 1890, p. 16 (Samar Island, Philippine Islands). 



Chars, subsp. — Similar to Cyanonympha superciliaris superciliaris, 

 but pileum darker, more dusky (less bluish), and thus more contrasted 

 with the back; remaining upper parts more greenish blue; the bright 

 azure forehead and supraloral lines more narrow. 



Measurements. — One male: Wing, 80; tail, 80; exposed culmen, 12; 

 tarsus, 16 mm. 



Type-locality. — Samar Island, Philippine Islands. 



Geographical distrihution. — Islands of Samar, Leyte, and Bohol, 

 Philippine Islands. 



The only specimen examined is an adult male (U.S.N.M. No. 

 211005) from Servilla, Bohol Island, collected April 18, 1906, by 

 A. Celestino and M. Canton. It is very much like some speci- 

 mens of Cyanonympha superciliaris superciliaris, and indicates that 

 C. s. samarensis is only a subspecies. 



Genus HYPOTHYMIS Boie. 



Hypothymis Boie, Isis, 1826, p. 973. 



Chars, gen. — Similar to Ehipidura, but bill stouter; nostrils within 

 basal half of bill, measured from rictus; rictal bristles much shorter,
