Phcenicothraupis rubicoides affinis, new subspecies. Oaxaca 



Tanager. 



Type, \o. 143571, U. S. Nat. Museum, Dept. Agric. coll., $ , Pinotepa, 

 Oaxaca, Mexico, Februarj 21, 1S9S. Collected by E. W. Nelson and E. 

 .\. Goldman (Orig. No. 3538). 



Distribution. — Foothills of the coast range on the Pacific slope of 

 Oaxaca, and probably including the same belt in the State of Guerrero. 



The males of this form differ from specimens of typical rubicoides 

 taken on the east coast of Mexico and in Guatemala, by having 

 the red of the entire body of a lighter or less intense shade, and 

 in the red of the lower parts being more uniform, the contrast 

 between the color of the throat and breast and that of the abdomen 

 and rest of low^er parts not being so marked. The female has the 

 crest of a lighter yellow than in birds from the Gulf coast, and 

 the back is a lighter, brighter green. The lower surface is lighter 

 and more inclined to buffy and the throat patch is less marked, 

 thus agreeing with the male in the uniformity of the color on the 

 lower surface. 



Birds from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec are intermediate 

 between those from Vera Cruz and those from Pinotepa. The 

 lighter colors of birds from the Pacific coast district of Oaxaca is 

 what might be expected from the fact that the climate is much 

 more arid there than on the Gulf coast where the more intensely 

 colored, typical form is found.
