CRIMSON-THROATED MANAKIN. 

 (Pipra gularis.) 



Pi. nigro-ccBrulea stihtus coccinea ahdomine albo. 

 Black-blue Manakin, beneath crimson, with the belly white. 

 Pipra gularis. Lath. Ind. Orn. Sup. Ivii. 5. 

 Crimson-throated Manakin. Lath. Syn. Sup, II. 254. 8. 



This species is a native of Huaheine : it has 

 the upper parts of the plumage blueish black : 

 chin, throat, fore-parts of the neck, and vent, 

 crimson : belly white : legs dusky : beak pale. 

 This bird appears at first sight to be allied to 

 the Crimson-vented Manakin, but upon a more 

 accurate examination the dissimilarity is very evi- 

 dent, not only in colour, but its inhabiting a dif- 

 ferent country.
