Remarks.— This new hairy woodpecker occurs commonly in 
the higher mountains of Costa Rica and the Volcan de Chiriqui, 
and is the southern extreme of the species. Whether or not it, 
D. sanctorum and YD. jardinet should be considered distinct 
species or geographic races of one wide-ranging bird, is much a 
matter of opinion; the latter course seems to me the more reason- 
able. All are very different, and very easily recognized, and it is 
surprising that they were for so long “lumped” together.
