PIRANGA TESTACEA FIGLINA (Salvin and Godman). 

 BELIZE TANAGER. 



Similar to P. t. testacea, but wing and tail longer and coloration 

 duller; adult male with red of upper parts lighter (approaching 

 chestnut-rufous), that of under parts lighter and duller (approach- 

 ing orange- rufous), with the darker shading on chest and sides less 

 pronounced; auricular region more or less brownish, with fine shaft- 

 streaks of paler, instead of uniform or nearly uniform dark red, like 

 pileum; adult female rather lighter yellowish olive-green above, with 

 auricular region much duller and with fine shaft-streaks of whitish, 

 instead of uniform yellowish olive-green, like pileum. 



Adult iiiale.— 'Length (skins), 170.2-182.9 (174.8); wing, 88.4-99.1 

 (94.7); tail, 70.9-79.6 (76.7); exposed culmen, 17.8-19.3 (18.3); depth 

 of bill at base, 10.4-11.7 (10.9); tarsus, 21.1-22.6 (21.3); middle toe, 

 15.2-16.3 (15.7).' 



' Six specimens. 



^ I have not seen specimens from south of Bogota, but there are rather numerous 

 records for Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. I suspect that the bird from Chontales, Nic- 

 aragua, may be P. t. figlina, or at least an intermediate between the two forms.
