FAMILY TROCHILIDAE 359 



a male, came from Tuis, on a tributary stream in the same general 

 area. As the label is not clearly written Lawrence published this as 

 "Juiz." If the male is taken as type (with the female as co-type) 

 Tuis will be listed as the type locality. 



Near Cerro Punta, Chiriqui, on March 23, 1954, I collected a male 

 in dense undergrowth near a small stream, the only one that I have 

 seen. Because of its large size, on first sight it reminded me in its 

 action of a female sabre-wing. In the hand, and during its prepara- 

 tion as a specimen, I was impressed by its strongly muscled form, 

 especially in the legs and wings.
