THYROPHILUS PLEUROSTICTUS RAVUS Ridgway. 

 NICARAGUAN BANDED WREN. 



Similar to 7'. p. pleurostt'ctm, but slightl}' smaller: upper parts 

 decidedly more cinnamomeous or rut'escent, the color more uniform 

 from head to tail: remiges much less distinctly barred (bars sometimes 

 obsolete on secondaries), and median under parts more extensively 

 white.

I am not sure tliat this sjiecimen represents the true 7'. uimrlii.t, hut it evidently 

 comes very near that hird, if not actually the same. .rud^in<; from the description 

 and colored plate jriven in the Proceedinjis of the Zoolojrical Socii'ty for 1S69 (p. .541, 

 pi. 45), the type of 7'. tiisoriim differs from the spi'cimen dcsciilKMl above only in 

 havinji the imder jiarts more regularly banded. 



^'1 have not been able to lind Real Arriba on any map oi Mexico that I liave had 

 the opportunity of consulting. Mr. Nelson thinks it is probably iii Puebla.
