3 Type. 



ENTOMOTHERA COROMANDA MINOR (Temminck and Schlegel). 



Alcedo (Halcyon) coromanda minor Temminck and Schlegel, Fauna Japonica, 

 1842, p. 76 (Borneo and Sumatra). 



Chars, subsp. — Resembling Entomothera coromanda pagana, but 

 wing shorter; and lower surface, particularly the posterior portion, 

 darker. 



Measurements. — Male: 4 Total length (in flesh), 247-254 (average, 

 250.5) mm.; wing, 98.5-103 (100.3); tail, 59-61.5 (60.2); exposed 

 culmen, 48.5-52.5 (50); tarsus, 15-16 (15.6); middle toe, 17.5-18.5 

 (17.8). 



Female: 5 Wing, 100-104 (102) mm.; tail, 58-62 (60); exposed 

 culmen, 51-51.5 (51.3); tarsus, 15.5-16 (15.8); middle toe, 19.3-19.5 

 (19.4). 



Type-locality. — Pontianak, Borneo. 6 



Geographical distribution. — Borneo, together with Labuan and 

 doubtless other of its coastal islands; Tawi Tawi Island, Philippine 

 Islands; Singapore Island; and probably Java. 



Remarks. — The principal characters which separate the present 

 form from Entomothera coromanda coromanda, dark coloration and 

 small size, have had notice from several authors, but since the original 

 description of Entomothera coromanda minor, 1 not until 1912 8 did 

 they receive due formal recognition. However, a very marked dif- 

 ference in both size and color is at once observable on comparison of 

 specimens from northeastern India and from Borneo. In addition 



* Three specimens, from Borneo and Singapore Island. 

 6 Two specimens, from Borneo and Labuan Island. 



6 Here for the first time definitely restricted. See p. 650.
