This pretty little species appears to have a limited range restricted to the north- 
western parts of South America, the Isthmus of Panama, and thence to Costa Rica ; 
but from the latter country we have only a single record of its occurrence. No speci- 
mens of it were included in the collections sent us from Chiriqui or from the neigh- 
bourhood of Santiago de Veraguas. M‘Leannan, however, met with it on the line of 
the Panama Railway, and sent specimens both to Mr. Lawrence and ourselves, and 
Mr. C. J. Wood found it at Turbo, on the Isthmus of Darien, in the drier parts of the 
forest. It had the same habits as 7. cinereum, but was not common. 
My. Sclater’s type was obtained near Santa Marta}.
