Resident. Known in Panama from 2 specimens from the Tuira- 

 Chucunaque Valley, Darien. 



The type specimen, an adult male, was collected by E. A. Goldman 

 on April 4, 1912, at Marraganti, a locality at the head of tidewater 

 on the Rio Tuira, a short distance down river from Boca de Cupe. 

 On April 3, 1959, I secured another male as it moved over open 

 branches at low level in unbroken forest at Quebrada Cuatro on the 

 Rio Chucunaque near the mouth of the Rio Tuquesa. 



In his work for the Smithsonian in northern Colombia, M. A. Car- 

 riker, Jr., secured several that I have assigned to this race in the area 

 between the Department of Cordoba (from the lower Rio Sinu to 

 Pueblo Nuevo), Cartagena, Bolivar, and northeastern Magdalena. 

 One was collected near El Cone jo in western Guajira. 



The race xanthochloros of northeastern Colombia and adjacent 

 Venezuela is duller in color.
