• Chrysoptilus melanochlorus jucB subsp. nov.: Type from Jua, near Iguatu, 

 Ceard, Brazil. Male, No. 47252, Field Museum of Natural History. Collected by 

 R. H. Becker, August 27, 1913. 



Similar to C. m. nattereri (Malherbe), but pale banding of upper parts more 

 yellow; rump brighter and clearer yellow; throat washed with yellow. Wing, 130; 

 tail, 108; bill, 26 mm. 



'' The type of C. maricB should be carefully compared with specimens from north- 

 eastern Brazil and if identical the original type locality "Chamicuros" is probably 

 an error. It is to be noted that the measurements given by Snethlage and those of 

 the type do not agree. No specimens seen by me.
