TROGLODYTES OCHRACEUS Ridgway. 



Troglodytes (f) ochraceus Ridgway, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., lY, 1882, p. 334. 



Type locality. — Volcan de Irazu, Costa Rica. 



Geographical distrihution. — Costa Rica and Panama. 



Although b}^ some writers this bird has been considered indistin- 

 guishable from Troglodytes solstitialis^ it is nevertheless very different. 

 The upper parts are much paler; the entire lower surface more deeply 

 and more continuously fulvescent; the flanks without any indication 

 of bars; and the lower tail-coverts ochraceous, slightly barred with 

 darker, instead of white with conspicuous blackish cross markings. 



Mr. Goodfellow records" Troglodytes ochraceus from western Ecua- 

 dor, but we have been unable to verify the identification. 



TROGLODYTES RUFOCILIATUS Sharpe. 



Troglodytes hrunneieollis, subsp. a. rufodliatus Sharpe, Cat. Bds. Brit. Mus., VI, 

 1881, p. 262. 



Type locality. — Volcan de Fuego, Guatemala. 



Geographical c?^«^r^5w^^w^— Guatemala; and eastern Chiapas, Mexico. 



Although originall}^ considered but a subspecies of Troglodytes hrun- 

 neicoUis., this is apparently quite a distinct species, more nearh" related, 

 indeed, to Troglodytes ochraceus and T. solstitialis. 



TROGLODYTES BRUNNEICOLLIS BRUNNEICOLLIS Sclater. 



Troglodytes hrunneieollis Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soe. Lond., 1858, p. 297. 



Type locality. — La Pai'ada, Oaxaca, Mexico. 

 Geograp>h'tcal distrihution. — Southern Mexico. 



Much larger than Troglodytes rufociliatusi paler and conspicuously 

 less rufescent throughout. 



TROGLODYTES BRUNNEICOLLIS CAHOONI (Brewster). 



Troglodytes eahooni Brewster, Auk, Y, 1888, p. 94. 



Type locality. — Near Oposura, Sonora, Mexico. 

 Geographical distrih^ition. — Northwestern Mexico. 

 Similar to Troglodytes h. hrunneieollis., but decidedly paler, particu- 

 larly below, with the bars on flanks and abdomen less conspicuous. 



TROGLODYTES MONTICOLA Bangs. 



Troglodytes monticola Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XIII, 1899, p. 106. 



Typ>e locality. — Paramo de Chiruqua, Sierra de Santa Marta, 

 Colombia.

«Ibis, 1901, p. 313.
