Bangs and Peck — Bare and New Birds from British Honduras. 45 



Terenotriccus erythrurus fulvigularls (Salv. & Godm. ). 



Several specimens of this little tyrant-bird, which until Mr. Dearborn's 

 recent record* from Los Amates, Guatemala, bad been traced no farther 

 north than San Pedro Sola and Santa Anna, Honduras, were taken in the 

 Toledo District. These were all found along the banks of the Tunach River, 

 near the Guatemala border, where about two dozen individuals were seen. 



Upon comparing this series with numerous skins from Costa Rica and 

 Chiriqui, slight differences can be seen. British Honduras specimens 

 while in other dimensions averaging equal to more southern ones appear 

 to have smaller bills, and the forehead back to the centre of the crown is 

 constantly strongly suffused with buff-cinnamon, there being usually but 

 a faint trace of this in specimens from Costa Rica and Chiriqui. 



Heleodytes zonatus restrictus Nelsorl. 



Some perfectly typical examples of this well-marked race were taken in 

 the Toledo District, thus extending its range to British Honduras. 



Pheugopedius maculipectus (Lafr.). 



The Spotted breasted wren from the Toledo and Manatee districts of 

 British Honduras, represented by a fine suit of skins, is interesting as being 

 exactly intermediate in every character between subspecies cano-brunneus 

 and umbrinus. 



Troglodytes irrequies sp. now 



Type from Sittee River, British Honduras. cT adult, No. 19,802, coll. 

 of E. A. and O. Bangs. Collected April 22, 1907, by M. E. Reek. 



Characters. — Similar to T. penninsularis Nelson of the coast of Yuca- 

 tan, with large bill and feet as in that form; but even smaller in other 

 measurements; darker brown above; breast and sides more buffy ; poste- 

 rior flanks and under tail-coverts much darker,more reddish brown, and 

 more strongly barred with dusky (in this latter respect approaching the 

 form found in the interior of Chiapas and Guatemala — Troglodytes mus- 

 cuhis hyaepdon (Sclater) ).

Remarks. — The three specimens from British Honduras, listed above, 

 represent a well-marked form related to T. p< nninsidaris which in the ab- 

 sence of intermediates seems to require full specific rank.
