Similar to V. Tc. darienensis, but under parts much darker, the 

 darker bars broader and the paler ones narrower, both relatively and 

 absolutely.

Southwestern Costa Rica (Pozo del Rio Grande; El Pozo de Ter-

I have not been able to make direct comparison between the specimens from Cana, 

 Darien, and those from Costa Rica and western Panama, the latter having been bor- 

 rowed from other museums and returned before the former were received. They 

 differ markedly, however, in coloration from the type of V. k. darienensis, and accord- 

 ing to my recollection of the series of typical V. k. neglectus agree very closely with 

 the latter. The type of V. k. darienensis was obtained, as stated on the label, in the 

 low damp (probably coast-plain) forests of the Rio Pirrf , whereas the Cana examples 

 of V. k. neglectus were taken in the mountains at an elevation of 1,800-2,000 feet; 

 hence they doubtless represent, respectively, lowland and moimtain forms.
