39^ BIRDS OF THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA PART 2 



and under tail coverts lighter, more cinnamon-brown ; middle and 

 lesser wing coverts white, tipped with brown, and with a narrow sub- 

 terminal bar of slate ; greater coverts dusky, edged and barred irregu- 

 larly with white; inner secondaries with outer webs margined with 

 white, a distal bar of slate edged with dull cinnamon-buff, and the 

 rest of the surface freckled with dull buff to white. 



In the American Museum of Natural History collections 2 males 

 taken at Carrillo, Costa Rica, by Austin Smith have the soft parts 

 noted as follows : iris in one cream color, in the other lemon-yellow ; 

 bill yellow ; bare lower end of tarsus wax yellow. A female, from the 

 same locality and collector, has the iris described as lemon, mandible 

 and base of maxilla below nostril yellow, rest of maxilla black. 



An adult male from the upper Rio Changuena, Bocas del Toro, 

 collected by R. Hinds, September 11, 1961, has the bare edge of the 

 eyelids black.

Resident. Foothill and lower mountain forests of the Caribbean 

 slope from the Costa Rican boundary in western Bocas del Toro to 

 northern Veraguas. 



The distribution of this species as given in early reports included 

 several localities in error due to lack of detail in geographical knowl- 

 edge. In the original description (1866) Salvin listed it merely as 

 "Hab. in Veragua." The following year (Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 

 1867, p. 151), with a description of the female, he cites it as found at 

 "Santa Fe; Santiago de Veragua; Cordillera de Tole" these being 

 merely three points from which Arce had forwarded specimens, all 

 incorrect, as all are on the Pacific slope. Three years later (idem, 

 1870, p. 202), in another review of Arce's collections, he lists Trogon 

 clathratus as from "Calovevora" which geographically is correct. This 

 locality, near the headwaters of the Rio Calovevora, which flows to 

 the Caribbean, lies between 10 and 15 kilometers west and north of 

 west of Santa Fe, where Arce was located during part of his early 

 work. Calovevora (spelled Calovebora on some maps) may be ac- 

 cepted, therefore, as the type locality. It is the only place among the 

 several listed by Salvin and Godman (Biol. Centr.-Amer., Aves, vol. 

 2, 1896, p. 505) that is in the range of the species, except for the
