406 BIRDS OF THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA — PART 2 



TROGON COLLARIS PUELLA Gould 



Trogon puella Gould, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, pt. 13, April 1845, p. 18. 

 (Escuintla, Guatemala.) 



Characters. — Adult male with terminal white tip on the three outer 

 rectrices narrow, only twice, or slightly more, wider than the adjacent 

 black bar; black of throat somewhat more extensive; mottled pat- 

 tern on secondaries and wing coverts blacker ; female slightly duller, 

 grayer brown on breast, head, and dorsal surface. Males in first 

 adult dress have the white tips on the outer rectrices broad, as in the 

 South American races and T. c. extimus of Cerro Pirre, but differ 

 in darker shoulder. 



Ridgway (U.S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 50, pt. 5, 1911, p. 776) gives 

 colors of the male, recorded personally in Costa Rica as "bill yellow ; 

 naked eyelids brown ; iris dark brown." The slightly thickened edge 

 of the eyelid in this trogon is black. 



A female taken March 4, 1965, at 2,650 meters on Volcan Baru, 

 Chiriqui, had the iris dark brown ; edge of eyelid dull black ; maxilla 

 down to nostril and tip black; side of maxilla and mandible yellowish 

 green ; tarsus and toes dull pale neutral gray ; claws fuscous-black. 

 Another female from Volcan Baru, taken March 7, 1965, had the 

 iris warm brown, side of maxilla below nostril for two-thirds of 

 length from base, and all of mandible slightly greenish yellow ; rest 

 of maxilla black ; tarsus light mouse brown ; toes somewhat darker ; 

 claws fuscous-brown. 



Measurements. — Males (10 from Chiriqui), wing 121.0-127.0 

 (123.9), tail 132.6-136.6 (133.4), culmen from base 16.7-18.3 (17.7), 

 tarsus 14.0-16.3 (15.2) mm. 



Females (10 from Chiriqui), wing 120.0-126.8 (122.7), tail 131.3- 

 139.6 (134.8), culmen from base 16.8-18.4 (17.5), tarsus 14.2-15.6 

 (14.8) mm. 



Resident. Found in western Chiriqui around Volcan Baru, and 

 from Cerro Pando westward throughout the Subtropical Zone, mainly 

 from 1,200-2,000 meters ; 1 record at 2,650 meters on Baru, 1 at 1,100 

 meters below Santa Clara, and 1 at 760 meters above Buena Vista. 

 Blake (Fieldiana: Zool, vol. 36, no. 5, 1958, p. 523) recorded 1 in 

 the Monniche collection on the Caribbean slope from Camp Cilindro, 

 Bocas del Toro, at 1,580 meters. 



Of the records given by Salvin and Godman (Biol. Centr.-Amer., 

 Aves, vol. 2, 1896, p. 492) only those for "Boquete (Bridges), Volcan 

 de Chiriqui" are valid. Their listings for David, Castillo, and Santa 

 Fe were included through error, as these are lowland localities where
