604 BIRDS OF THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA PART 3 



(90.5), tail 51.7-567 (54.8), culmen from base 17.6-19.1 (18.6), 

 tarsus 19.6-20.6 (20.1) mm. 



Resident. Rare. Recorded in Veraguas from specimens collected 

 more than 100 years ago by Enrique Arce near Chitra, Castillo, and 

 Calovevora. 



In the original description (cit. supra) the authors wrote that 

 "Arce's last collection contains two skins," and further, that they 

 "were secured at Calovevora." In a second account (Exotic Orn., 

 1869= December 1868, p. 131) they added that another sending from 

 this same locality had further specimens. They described the serra- 

 tion in the outer web of the tenth primary in the male, noting that 

 this peculiarity had been figured by Mikan in his account of the form 

 of Brazil (Delectus Florae et Faunae Brasiliensis, pt. 3, 1823). 



Salvin (Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., vol. XIV, 1888, pp. 281-282) 

 listed specimens from Calovevora and Castillo, Veraguas. In the 

 collections of the British Museum there are in addition male and 

 female labeled Chitra, taken by Arce. Hellmayr (Cat. Birds Amer., 

 Pt. VI, 1929, p. 3) in his list of material examined includes "Boquete, 

 Chiriqui 1," without further explanation. As no specimen has been 

 found to support it this is not accepted as a valid record. There have 

 been no modern records from Panama. 



The race is found also in Costa Rica where the known range, 

 according to Dr. Slud, is mainly on the Caribbean side from La 

 Vijagua, on the slopes of the Cordillera de Guanacaste, northern 

 Alajuela, along the north face of the Cordillera Central to its eastern 

 side, with additional records from Orosi, San Jose and Santa Maria 

 de Dota.
