Mr. Ridgway’s name for this bird is taken from the character of the spots on the 
throat, which are nearly round and situated at the end of the feather. All our Costa- 
Rican and Panama specimens have this character, which is also to be found in some, 
but not all, examples of D. erythropygia, the exceptions having the throat-feathers 
edged rather than spotted with olive. The best character by which to distinguish 
D. punctigula is its nearly uniform unspotted crown and the almost total absence of 
dorsal streaks. An Ecuador specimen has this coloration, and belongs, we do not doubt, 
to the race described by Graf v. Berlepsch and Taczanowski as Dendrornis erythropygia 
equatorialis. ‘This example is not separable from others from the State of Panama, 
referable to D. punctigula of Ridgway. According to Mr. Elliot 9, the specimen obtained 
by Mr. W. 8. Wood, jun., during Lieut. Michler’s Darien Expedition, and referred by 
Cassin to D. triangularis!, belongs here, and not to the true D. erythropygia, which 
occurs on the Isthmus of Panama.
