' Ten specimens. 



Specimens from different localities average as follows: 



Some specimens from the Isthmus of Panama are paler than those from Costa 

 Rica and Nicaragua, the adult males slightly more reddish above and the females 

 more olive (less brown) ; but the difference is so slight and so inconstant (judging by 

 the small series examined) that it does not seem justiliahle to recognize a southern 

 form.
