Peucaea carpalis Coues 



American Naturalist 7 (6) : 322 (footnote), June 1873. 

 =Aimophila carpalis carpalis (Coues) . See Hellmayr, Catalogue of birds 



of the Americas 11: 521, 1938. 

 62372. Adult (sex not indicated). Vicinity of Tucson, Pima County, 



Arizona. September 1872. Collected by Charles E. Bendire. Received 



from Elliott Coues (in whose private collection it was No. 2689). 

 Bendire (Ornithologist and Oologist 7: 121, 1882) writes: "I found these 

 birds very common on the ridges bordering Rillitto Creek, a little back from 

 the creek bottom proper, but seldom any great distance from the latter in 

 the dry and arid cactus covered plains. The Rufous-winged Sparrow seemed 

 to be particularly partial to a strip of country scarcely a mile in length by 

 four hundred yards wide running parallel to the creek and near the present 

 site of Camp Lowell. ... Ik this comparatively small space I found not 

 less than forty-three of their nests with eggs and a still larger number of 

 those of the Black-throated Sparrow which were still more common, besides 

 a number of nests containing young birds in various stages of growth."
