109. YUHINA DIADEMATA Verreaux 



Yuhina diademata Yerbeavx, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris, vol. 5, Bull. 1869, 

 p. 35 (Mupin). 



A good series: High slopes of the Mekong Ridge above Tsao 

 Chiang, March; Likiang Mountains, 9,400-14,000 feet, April- 

 August ; Hofuping Mountains, Mekong Valley, November ; forests of 

 Youngning, February. 



Specimens in fresh unworn plumage are much darker than birds 

 after they have begun to fade and wear. With only a few specimens 

 from Szechwan (only one in good shape) for comparison, I follow 

 Rothschild ^^ in his disposition of Yuhina a?7ipeUna Rippon. 



110- YUHINA GULARIS GRISEOTINCTA Rothschild 



Yuhina gularis ffHseotincta Rothschild, Nov. Zool., vol. 28, 1921, p. 42 

 (Shweli-Salwin Divide, Yunnan). 



One female, Tengyueh Paofungssu, 5,600 feet, March 5. 



111. YUHINA OCCIPITALIS OBSCURIOR Rothschild 



Yuhina occipitalis ohscurvor Rothschild, Nov. Zool., vol. 28, 1921, p. 42 

 (Likiang, Yunnan). 



A good series: Cliffs of Mekong Valley, 11,000 feet, March 19; 

 L'usuko (Mount Dyinaloko), 11,600 feet, April 27; Likiang Moun- 

 tains, 11,000-12,000 feet, April-August. 



112. LIOTHRIX LUTEUS YUNNANENSIS Rothschild 



Lioihrix luteus yunnanensis Rothschild, Nov. Zool., vol. 28, 1921, p. 36 

 (Shweli-Salwin Divide, Yunnan). 



Two males, Hofuping Mountains, November ; one male, mountains 

 near Yangtza, NoYember. 



This is a very different race from L. I. luteus of Szechwan and 

 Hupeh Provinces. It is larger and much deeper in color above; 

 the back overlaid with a yellowish wash, not simply dark gray ; the 

 lores and sides of head lemon yellow, instead of grayish; the throat 

 and jugulum deeper yellow ; the breast, belly, and under tail coverts 

 light yellow instead of grayish white ; the color of the wing deeper. 

 In fact it is so different that I have my doubts but what it should 

 not be accorded specific rank, except that good specimens of L. I. 

 calipygus are not available for comparison.

=8 Nov. ZooL, ToL 30, 1923, p. 258.
