no. 2090. REVIEW OF ENTOMOTHERA COROMANDA— OBERHOLSER. 653 



Male: 1 Wing, 121-122 (average, 121.5) mm.; tail, 68-70.5 (69.5); 

 exposed culmen, 53-55.5 (53.8); tarsus, 16.2-19 (17.6); middle toe, 

 19-20.2 (19.8). 



Female: 2 Wing, 119 mm.; tail, 68-72.5 (70.3); exposed culmen, 

 50.8-55 (52.9); tarsus, 17-17.5 (17.3); middle toe, 19-20 (19.5). 



Type-locality. — Palanoc, Masbate Island, Philippine Islands. 



Geographical distribution. — Philippine Archipelago . Reported from 

 the following islands: Batan, Calayan, Camiguin, Guimaras, Luzon, 

 Masbate, Mindanao, Mindoro, Palawan, Sibuyan, and Tawi Tawi. 



Compared with Entomoihera coromanda rufa the present race 

 differs in its larger size, paler, less magenta-tinged upper and particu- 

 larly lower parts, and more whitish rump-stripe. In immature 

 plumage it is also paler, especially below. From Entomoihera coro- 

 manda minor it may be distinguished by its much greater size, lighter 

 coloration, particularly below, and by less suffusion of magenta on 

 breast and upper surface. 



This bird seems to be pretty well distributed throughout the Philippine 

 Islands, and permanently resident, though not common. Examples 

 from the various islands appear to be identical. Immature examples 

 of this subspecies are very much paler below than are the adults, the 

 difference comparable to that in Entomoihera coromanda major.
