This species was described from a Verreaux specimen said to have come 

 from " Santa Marta in New Grenada," but no one of the several collectors who 

 have worked in this region has succeeded in detecting the bird there. Dr. 

 Hartert, who has examined the type, tells us that it agrees precisely with 

 Central American examples, and there can be little doubt but that it actually 

 came from Panama, the localities assigned by Verreaux to his specimens being 

 notoriously incorrect.

Sixteen specimens : Bonda, Onaca, Santa Marta, Mamatoco, Tierra 

 Nueva, and Fonseca. 



This series does not afford any ground for supposing that birds 

 from this region constitute a distinct race, as recently suggested by 

 Mr. Cherrie. In first nuptial plumage males resemble fully adult birds 

 of that sex in having the crown and under parts yellow, but else- 

 where they have more or less of the green plumage seen in the female. 

 In juvenal dress both sexes are dull yellow below, including the throat. 



This little tanager is not nearly so common as T. crassirostris, nor 

 does it have so extensive an altitudinal range, being mostly confined
