 bluish {cf. Berlepsch & Hartert, Nov. Zool., IX, 1902, p. 86, in text, also, Hellmayr,

*" Chlorostilbon caribaeus nanus Berlepsch and Hartert: Differs in having 

 shorter bill, slightly less forked tail and breast more or less tinged with bluish green; 

 very close to C. c. caribaeus Lawrence, and may not be separable.
