specimens, I have come to the conclusion that the two volcanoes 
are inhabited by different subspecies. Both differ from T. sol- 
stitialis Sclater of Ecuador in having unbarred flanks. From each 
other they differ in constant, though slight, differences in the shades 
of the browns of the upper parts, and in the bill being slightly larger 
in the Chiriqui form. Restricting true Troglodytes ochraceus 
Ridg. to Irazi, I propose for the form of the Volean de Chiriqui 
the name 
Troglodytes ochraceus ligea subsp. nov. 
Type, from Boquete (4000 feet altitude), Volean de Chiriqui, Panama, 
o adult, no. 8627, coll. of E. A. and O. Bangs, collected March 2, 1901, 
by W. W. Brown, Jr. 
Characters.— Similar to true T. ochraceus Ridg., but with a slightly 
larger bill; upper parts darker, more tawny, less ochraceous brown,— 
this is especially noticeable on forehead and crown; lores, superciliary 
streak and cheeks, redder or more tawny brown, less ochraceous.

1This was marked ‘ 9’ by the collector, but I doubt this being correct, as it is as 
large as the males.
