Phoenicothraupis rubicoides affinis, new subspecies. Oaxaca 
‘TANAGER. 
Type, No. 143571, U. S. Nat. Museum, Dept. Agric. coll., g, Pinotepa, 
Oaxaca, Mexico, February 21, 1895. Collected by E. W. Nelson and E. 
A. Goldman (Orig. No. 2538). 
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 rdicozdes 
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 lower 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.
