PHEUGOPEDIUS FELIX GRANDIS (Nelson). 

 MORELOS WREN. 



Intermediate in coloration between P. /". felix and P. f. pallidus 

 (nearer the former, however), but decidedly larger than either (except 

 feet). 



"The color of the flanks varies much according to condition of the plumage. In 

 fresh plumage the color is deep, in worn plumage paler and duller. 



b Six specimens. 



c Three specimens. 



''No specimen seen by me, or recorded, from Michoacan; but since a portion of 

 this State is interposed between the State of Guerrero and that portion of Jalisco in 

 which the species is known to occur there can be no doubt of its occurrence in the 

 coast district of Michoacan also.
