MALES. 



Ten adult males from Panama 



Ten adult males from Colombia 



Three adult males from Venezuela . 

 Two adult males from Trinidad . . . 



FEMALES. 



Two adult females from Panama . . . 

 Nine adult females from Colombia . 

 One adult female from Venezuela. . . 



Specimens from Panama and most of those from Colombia are decidedly darker 

 underneath than those from Venezuela and Trinidad, the color of the under parts in 

 the former being slaty black (more slaty posteriorly) and in the latter dark olivaceous- 

 slate. One specimen from Santa Marta, however, is in this respect precisely like 

 Venezuelan and Trinidad examples, while all others in a considerable series are like 

 those from Panama. 



^Although usually cited as possibly this species, this certainly can not be the same, 

 since the rump and upper tail-coverts are said to be red and the under parts white!
