235. Pit ANGUS lictor lictor (Lichtenstein). 



Three specimens, adult and immature, Vicinity of Paramaribo, 

 February, March, and May. 



Ridgway (Birds of North and Middle America, 1907, 4, p. 675) 

 calls attention to two specimens from Brazil which are larger than the 

 Panama birds. Of our three Surinam specimens one is a nestling 

 and one other has the primaries in moult; hence these two are not 

 reliable for measurements. The third specimen is nearly as large as 

 the two Brazilian specimens which Ridgway had and now before us. 

 Our Surinam bird (986 Penard Coll.), offers the following measure- 

 ments: adult d^, wing 92; tail, 69; tarsus, 19; exposed culmen, 22. 



We think the small northern form should be recognized as a distinct 

 race, and name it 



235a. Pitangus lictor panamensis, subsp. nov. 



Type — M. C. Z. E. A. & O. Bangs Coll. 7,214. Adult cf. Loma 

 del Leon, Panama, 7 March, 1900. W. W. Brown, Jr. 



Characters. — Similar to P. /. lictor (Licht.), but decidedly smaller. 



Measurements.— Type, adult cf ; wing, 87; tail, 69; tarsus, 18; 

 exposed culmen, 20. See Ridgway {he. cit., p. 675) for further 

 measurements.
