The single female examined by us is of smaller dimensions than the males, the general colouration much 
) g 
resembles that of females of C. sinica kawarahiba from Japan and CO. sinica ussuriensis from Corea, but dis- 
tinguishable from the former by the paler colour of the body, and by the abdomen and under tail-coverts almost 
white. It differs from the latter by the larger size, and by the absence of any yellowish tinge on the under 
parts. | 
Remarks.—The new form is obviously intermediate between C. sinica kawarahiba and C. stnicu ussuriensis. 
The male differs from that of the latter subspecies by the decidely larger dimensions of body and by the yellow 
patch on remiges less bright. In general colouration it is much nearer to the latter than to the former or C. suuca
