General color, including sides of bodj, lustrous black. Eyelids, a large 

 patcl on the wing, involving tho greater and middle coverts, the edges of the 

 secondaries, the inside of wings, axillars, crissum, tibim, outer tail feather 

 except at base, and a diminishing space on the second and third, white. 

 Middle of breast and abdomen carmine red. Wiugs and tail equal. 



The white of the crissal feathers is conflned to the tips, the rest being black, 

 sometimes showing in the white. The fourth tail feather sometimes has a 

 Blight white tip ; the second feather is almost entirely white. 



I have seen no specimen marked as the female of this beautiful species, 

 Lut that sex probably differs only in s less intenne coloration, and more re- 

 etrioted amount of white. There is no appreciable difference between Mexican 

 and Guatemalan skins. 



Length (34,020), 5.00; wing, 2.70; tail, 2.70; tarsus, .66 



This species differs in form from S. miniata in longer wings and 

 shorter tail — the two being about equal, instead of the tail being 

 considerably the longer. The tarsi of this species are also shorter. 



Setophaga multicolor, Bon.,' from Mexico, seems to differ in having 

 the forehead white, the white of the wings narrower, that of the tail 

 more restricted, the belly white. The species appears to be entirely 

 unknown, except from Bonaparte's description.
