Mr. 0. Salviu on the Psittacidse of Central America. 91 



Panama, by Arce in 18G4. Neither M'Leannan, nor any of 

 the collectors in Costa E-ica seems to have met with it. Dr. 

 Finschj /. c, quotes Leyland for its occurrence in Honduras ; 

 but I can find no record of it in the published list of Leyland's 

 birds {cf. P. Z. S. 1859, p. 59). 



5. Ara severa (Linn.). 



Sittace set)era, Finsch, Papag. i. p. 417. 



Mr. Lawrence records (Ann. Lye. N. Y. vii. p. 474) having 

 received a specimen from Panama, sent him by M'Leannan ; and 

 the bird was observed by the collectors of Lieut. Michler's ex- 

 pedition at the mouth of the river Nercua (Pr. Ac. Phil. 1860, 

 p. 137). There is also a specimen in the British Museum said 

 to have come from Nicaragua ; but this locality requires con- 

 firmation. I myself have never seen a Central- American speci- 

 men of this Maccaw. 



6. Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha (Sw.). 

 Sittace pachyrhyncha, Finsch, Papag. i. p. 428. 



This species is quite restricted in its range to Mexico, where 

 it has been obtained by most of the collectors who have visited 

 that country. Though included in Sittace by Finsch, the 

 densely feathered lores suggest its close relationship to the genus 

 Conurus. The bill, however, is that of an Ara. 



7. Conurus finschi, sp. n. (Plate IV.) 



Prasinus, subtus paulo dilutior ; fronte, campterio, et subalaribus 

 exterioribus coccineis ; remigibus subtus flavo tinctis : ma- 

 cula tibial! postice rubra : rostro flavo, pedibus pallide cory- 

 linis. Long tota 11 (poll, angl.), alee 6*2, cauda rectr. 

 med. 5*5, rectr. ext, 2"6, tarsi 0'6. 

 Hab. Bugaba, Chiriqui, Veragua {Arce). 

 Mus. S. & G. 



Obs. C. wa(jleri et C. frontato affinis, ab illo subalaribus 



coccineis, ab hoc statura minore et vertice dimidio antico 



solum cocciueo differt. 



During his recent expedition to Chiriqui, Arce obtained 



three specimens of this Parrot near Bugaba, a village situated 



to the westward of David, and upon the southern slope of the 



volcano of Chiriqui. [See map accompanying my paper on the 



birds of Veragua, P. Z. S. 1870, t. xvii.]
