Notwithstanding the considerably smaller average size of specimens from eastern 

 Panama and northeastern Colombia, there is so much individual variation in this 

 respect from all localities that I am not disposed to subdivide the species on the 

 basis of measurements. The series examined trom Panama is very small, however, 

 and a larger number of specimens may render a separation desirable. The type 

 locality of the species being unknown, an examination of the type specimen will be 

 necessary in order to determine to which form the name malherbii should be restricted.
