*Notharchus tectus subtectus (Sclater). b PANAMA PUFF-BIRD. 



So far as known, this bird does not occur in Venezuela. The type specimen 

 probably came from the region of the upper Rio Negro. 



b Notharchus tectus subtectus (SCLATER) : Differs from N. t. tectus in having the 

 upper parts deeper and more glossy black; white spots in head confined to the fore- 

 head and anterior crown; black crescent of foreneck narrower. There are also some 

 differences in tail marking, which appears to be variable.
