1. Parus moltchanovi, n. sp. 



Parus robustus et rostratus, quo P. phceonoto nee P. atro 

 similis ; rostro etiam longiore et crassiore quam in 

 P. phceonoto. Dorso purissime cineraceo ut in P. atro, 

 minime olivascenti, quo a P. phceonoto maxime differt ; 

 uropygio virescenti. R. 0-47-05 poll., u. 2"7-2*8, 

 c. 2-13-2-25. 

 Habitat in sylvis montium Yai'la peninsulse Tauricse. 



2. ACREDULA ROSEA TAURICA, n. Subsp. 



A. rosea similis, quam accedit striga superciliari nigerrima 

 rostrum haud attingenti dorsoque late nigro, quo ab 

 A. macedonica differt. Ab A. rosea scapularibus roseis 

 cinereo valde admixtis verticeque pure albo distinguenda. 

 Fascia pectorali transversa dilutissima fere inconspicua. 

 Habitat in sylvis montium Yai'la peninsulas Tauricse.
