TROGLODYTES SOLSTITIALIS SOLSTITIALIS Sclater. 



Troglodytes solstidalis Hvx.ATKii, Troc. Zool. Soc;. J^ond., 1S.'')S, p. 550. 



Type locality. — Vicinity of Riolximba. Ecuador. 



Geographical dUdrilnition. — Ecuador and Colombia. 



Decidedl}^ paler throughout and with a somewhat longer ])ill than 

 Ti'<></h)(l)/t<.s ri{fo('/7iafa.s'. Althoui^'h reported from Peru, it.s place is 

 prol)a])ly taken there by the next form, though the distrilnition of the 

 two has not yet been fully determined. Costa Rican records of solsti- 

 tialis belong to T. ochraceus. 



TROGLODYTES SOLSTITIALIS MACROURUS Berlepsch and Stolzmann. 



Troglodiitcs solstHialin macroiirvj^ Berlepsch and Stolzm.vnn, Proc. Zool. Soc. 

 Lond., 1902, Pt. 2, p. 55. 



Tyj)e locality. — Maraynioc, central Peru. 



Geographical distrihiition. — Peru. 



This recencly described form appears to be rather close to Tmglo- 

 dytcs s. /rate/', being in fact intermediat(^ between the latter and true 

 solstitialis. From solstitialis it differs by reason of a longer tail; 

 lighter, less rufesccnt coloration on the upper surface; distinctly 

 whitish superciliary stripe; paler cheeks, throat, breast, lining of wing, 

 and sides of neck; together with more grayish flanks. In length of 

 tail, as well as other measurements, it agrees with /"rater. 



TROGLODYTES SOLSTITIALIS PRATER Sharpe. 



Troglndytes soUtitlalix, subsp. a. f rater Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. !Miis., YI, 1881, 

 p. 261. 



Type locality. — Bolivia. 



Geograph icul distrilnition. — Bolivia. 



This readily recognizable race differs from solstitialis in color much 

 as does T. s. iDacrinrrnx^ but ev(Mi more decidedly. The ochraceous of 

 throat, breast, and sides of the neck is paler than in //tacrouras; the 

 supercilium is pure white instead of being tinged with ochraceous; the 

 abdomen is l(\ss purely white; and the upper parts less rufescent. 



TROGLODYTES AURICULARIS Cabanis. 

 Troglodytes {Iropsila) aurinila r!s CMi\y;in, .Tonrn. f. Orn., 1S8.S, p. 105. 



Type locality. — Mountains of Tucuman, Arg(Mitina. 

 Geographical distrihution. — Province of Tucuman, Argentina. 

 We have not .seen this .species, l)ut it is apparently closely allied to 

 Troglodytes solstitialis f rater, perhaps only subspecitically separable.
