CELEUS LORICATUS DIVERSUS Ridgway. 



TALAMANCA WOODPECKER. 



Similar to C. I. loricatus (of eastern Panama and northern Colom- 

 bia), but rump and under parts of body decidedly darker (cinnamon), 

 nearly, sometimes quite, concolor with foreneck and (in female) 

 throat, blackish bars averagiag larger and more numerous (espe- 

 cially on upper parts), and averaging decidedly larger. 



« On the ground that Celeus not being recognized as a genus by him, the former 

 is preoccupied by Picus mentalis Temminck, the latter by P. squamatjis Vigors!
