 Cordoba, Colombia.) 



Characters. — Grayer above, less rufescent brown ; back without

 streaking less sharply marked. 



Measurements. — Males (5 from eastern Province of Panama, 

 Darien, and northwestern Colombia), wing 82.1-88.1 (85.5), tail 

 63.8-71.0 (69.0), culmen from base 23.5-26.4 (24.4), tarsus 20.5-

 tarsus 20.3-21.4 (20.9) mm. 



Resident. Rare. Known from specimens taken in eastern Colon, 

 eastern Province of Panama, and Darien. 



The first report of this forest species is of two females collected 

 June 5, 1911, by E. A. Goldman, in a thicket on the Rio Cascajal on 

 the north base of Cerro Bruja, eastern Colon. A male in the Academy 

 of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia was taken on the Fifth George 

 Vanderbilt Expedition on Cerro Sapo, Darien, in April 1941. I col- 

 lected one at Jaque, Darien. April 7, 1946, and another that fiew 

 into a mist net on the Rio Tacarcuna at the site of the old village 

 on the base of Cerro Mali March 10, 1964. The latter was among 

 other small birds in attendance on a raiding column of ants. Griscom 

 received one from Hasso von Wedel, from Ranchon in eastern San 

 Bias. These are the available records to the present. 



The type locality, given as "Murucucu" in the original descrip- 

 tion, appears to refer to Cerro Murucucu, located east of the Rio 

 Sinu, in southern Cordoba, northwestern Colombia.
