“The lower surface is an intense smoky brown, and the outer tail feathers have 
their light areas nearly as dark. The dorsal stripe in most cases is like the 
ventral surface, but is rather more fulvous. The Type of sanctorum measures as 
follows :—Wing, 111 ; tail, 64; culmen, 25; tarsus, 21 mm.” (Nelson). Habitat. 
High mountains of Chiapas and Guatemala. 
Before reading the description of this species we were in doubt as to where to 
place the above-mentioned specimen. It evidently belongs to this species, 
which is merely a small dark southern race of D. jardinii. 
pubescens (Linn.). Fifteen. 114 (2 jr.) 49. United States (Ohio ; 
Indiana, Lake Co., Whiting Sta., January ; California, Haywards, June). 
Several subspecies of this Woodpecker have been described, but we are unable to 
recognise them in the material before us. 
pubescens, subsp. gairdneri (Avwd.). 
Mr. Hargitt recognises this form, which is said to differ from the typical 
D. pubescens, ‘in having the wing-coverts either entirely uniform, or with, at 
most, a few small spots of white upon the greater series ; the spots on the quills 
smaller and fewer, and sometimes entirely wanting on the innermost secondaries ; 
the under surface of the body darker, varying from smoky white to pale brown 
or smoky brown.” A female specimen in this collection, from Haywards, 
California, is marked as this subspecies, but does not appear materially different 
from other specimens. 
pubescens, subsp. meridionalis (Swains.). ; Oberholser, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xviii. 
pp. 547-548 (1895). 
** Subspecific characters.—-Similar to [Dryobates] pubescens, but smaller; the lower 
parts more brownish, the white markings of wings and tail averaging of less 
extent.” (Oberholser), Habitat. South Atlantic and Gulf States, from South 
Carolina to Texas. 
A few specimens of D. pubescens in the Collection are perhaps somewhat darker 
beneath, but are without locality, and are therefore left under typical D. pubescens. 
pubescens, subsp. nelsoni (Oberholser). Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xviii. pp. 549-550 
(1895). 
“ Subspecific characters.—Similar to [Dryobates] pubescens, but averaging larger, the 
under parts pure white instead of brownish; the lower tail-coverts and outer 
tail-feathers averaging with much less of black markings ; red nuchal band of 
male averaging somewhat wider.” (Oberholser). Habitat. Alaska and Northern 
British America.
