22 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 60 



Measurements of type. — Wing, 56; tail, 56.5; culmen, 12; tarsus, 

 20. 



Remarks. — This form is based on a single specimen which is so 

 strongly characterized by the yellow superciliary line, restriction of • 

 black on the sides of the head, and much more greenish back and yel- 

 lower under parts that it evidently represents a well-marked sub- 

 species. 



BASILEUTERUS MELANOGENYS EXIMIUS, subsp. nov. 

 Boquete Warbler 



Type. — No. 188465, adult female, U. S. National Museum, from 

 Boquete (at 5,000 feet altitude), western Panama; collected March 

 23, 1901, by W. W. Brown (Bangs collection). 



Distribution. — Known from type locality only. 



Subspccific characters. — Paler and grayer than true melanogcnys; 

 back of neck and back dull gray, becoming more greenish on rump 

 and borders of wings and tail ; under side of neck and body much 

 paler and more whitish lacking nearly all the yellowish suffusion of 

 melanogcnys and ignotus; sides of breast and flanks grayer and less 

 olive greenish ; size about the same. 



Measurements of type. — Wing, 60 ; tail, 58 ; culmen, 12 ; tarsus, 23. 

 Measurements of type of B. melanogenys (male adult No. 30497 

 U. S. National Museum) : Wing, 61 ; tail, 60; culmen, 12 ; tarsus, 22. 



Remarks. — Two specimens in the National Museum collection 

 from Boquete, western Panama agree in the characters named above 

 and are so easily recognizable from the large series in the National 

 Museum of true melanogenys from Costa Rica, including the type, 

 it is evident they represent a distinct subspecies. The gray backs 

 and pale under parts at once distinguish the Boquete form from the 

 greenish backs and yellowish tinged under parts of true melanogcnys.
