ENTOMOTHERA COROMANDA MIZORHINA, new subspecies. 



Chars, subsp. — Similar to Entomothera coromanda coromanda, but 

 bill much bigger; tarsus and middle toe somewhat longer; upper and 

 lower parts much darker; and both breast and forehead more washed 

 with magenta. 



Description. — Type, adult [probably a male], No. 19247, collection 

 of J. H. Fleming; North Andaman Island, Andaman Islands, January, 

 1905; C. Anderson. Upper parts, including sides of head and neck, 

 rather dull cinnamon rufous, the wings and tail darker, between 

 hazel and chestnut brown; everywhere more or less suffused with 

 magenta, most conspicuously so on cervix, crown, back, scapulars, 

 and wing-coverts; a long, broad stripe on the middle of the rump 

 and lower back greenish beryl blue; lower surface mostly cinnamon 

 rufous, paling somewhat on the middle of abdomen and on crissum, 

 passing into ochraceous buff on the chin, and deepening into tawny 

 on the breast and lining of wings; the breast somewhat tinged with 

 magenta. 



Measurements. — Probable male: 3 Wing, 114.5 mm.; tail, 67; exposed 

 culmen, 58; tarsus, 17.5; middle toe, 20. 



Type-locality. — North Andaman Island, Andaman Islands. 



Geographical distribution. — Andaman Islands, and probably also 

 the Nicobar Islands. 



Remarks. — Although we have examined but two specimens of this 

 new race, there is such a remarkable difference in the size of the bill 



s One specimen, the type.
