The name 7’. albitorques was applied by Du Bus to Peruvian specimens 4, and the bird 
from southern localities seems to be strictly conspecific with that of Central America and 
Mexico, to which the name 7’. fraseri has sometimes been applied 1°. Females differ 
a good deal in the intensity of the brown colouring of the back, which is sometimes 
almost replaced by grey of a darker shade than that of the male, but none of them 
possess the spotted mantle found in 7’. inquisitor. 
A young bird from Bugaba, marked as a female, has the crown rufous like the sides 
of the head, the subterminal band of the tail is almost broken into spots on the central 
feathers. 7. albitorques is easily distinguished from T. inquisitor not only by the 
coloration of the tail, but also by its white instead of black ear-coverts; the female, 
too, has the mantle spotted with black. Besides these two forms there are two others 
which cannot be satisfactorily placed with either of them. One, which we describe 
below as 7. pelzelni *, was obtained in Matto Grosso by Natterer, and more recently by 
Mr. Herbert H. Smith; this has the tail of 7. albitorques, but the black ear-coverts 
of T. inquisitor. The other, which we propose to call T. buckleyi +, has the tail of 
T. inquisitor, and the white ear-coverts of 7. albitorques, moreover the lower back of 
this bird is much whiter than that of any of its allies. 
Tityra albitorques, though a much rarer bird than T. semifasciata, has a very similar 
range, but it appears to be absent from Western Mexico and Western Guatemala, and
