Pye pane RipGway, New Species of American Birds. fae 
Xanthoura yncas chloronota ( Wager). — Although Wag- 
ler’s description includes two forms (his supposed young male 
being X. /uxuosa), the principal description seems clearly to 
apply to this form only, since the erect frontal plumes, specially 
mentioned, would exclude the yellow-bellied P. Zuxuosa guatema- 
lensts. 
Xanthoura luxuosa glaucescens, subsp. nov. Rio GRANDE 
GREEN JAY. 
Similar to X. duxwosa, but smaller, paler, and duller, with less white 
on forehead, the back bluish green, more or less (usually extensively) 
tinged with pale blue; adult male averaging wing 4.46, tail 4.95, culmen 
0.98, tarsus 1.48, middle toe 0.82. 
Lower Rio Grande Valley. 
Type, No. 70593, ¢ ad., Ft. Brown, Texas; Dr. J. C. Merrill, U.S. A. 
Xanthoura luxuosa luxuosa (ZLessov). GREEN JAY. 
This, the central form of the species, inhabits the eastern por- 
tion of the Mexican plateau, from the States of Vera Cruz and 
Puebla north to the middle portion of the States of Tamaulipas 
(Alta Mira, Victoria, etc.) and Nuevo Leon (Monterey). It is 
intermediate in characters between X. 7. glaucescens and X. 7. 
vivida, with both of which it of course completely intergrades. 
Xanthoura luxuosa vivida, subsp. nov. TEHUANTEPEC 
GREEN Jay. 
Similar to X. duxwosa, but larger and brighter colored, with under tail- 
coverts yellow or but slightly tinged with green (instead of wholly light 
green); differing from X. /. gwatema/ensis in being larger, brighter green 
above, and distinctly light yellowish green below, except on abdomen 
and under tail-coverts; adult male averaging wing 4.80, tail 5.37, culmen 
I.10, tarsus 1.56, middle toe, 0.88. 
Southern Mexico (States of Oaxaca, Guerrero?, Michoacan?, north- 
eastern Colima, Chiapas?) and northwestern Guatemala. 
Type, No. 144810, U. S. Nat. Mus. (No. 2585, U. S. Biol. Surv.), f ad.,
