YUNGIPICUS SIASIENSIS Mearns.

SIASI PYGMY WOODPECKER.

Yungipicus siasiensis Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909), 36, 438.

Siasi (Bartsch).

"Adult male (type).--Similar to the male of Y. ramsayi, but with a smaller bill and without white markings on the upper surface of the primaries or secondaries except a small concealed white spot on inner webs of several secondaries, and with much less white on the inner margins of the inner webs on under side of wing; and the orange-yellow of the under parts is much more restricted, being confined to a narrow band across the chest.

"Adult female ( * * * ).--Similar to the male, but lacking the elongated scarlet feathers on the edge of the posterior half of the crown and occiput, the entire upper surface of head and neck being dark brown. The white markings of the upper and under sides of the wings are restricted to the same extent as those of the type, and tend to form a very narrow brownish white margin to the inner webs of the innermost secondaries, below, instead of forming squarish detached white spots as in Y. ramsayi; the orange-yellow pectoral band as in the male.

"Measurements of Yungipicus siasiensis.--Adult male (type): Wing, 83 mm.; tail, 47; culmen, 19.5. Adult female ( * * * ): Wing 85 mm.; tail, 49; culmen, 20.2." (Mearns.)
