Setophaga picta ^uatemalae 



Subsp. a Setopha.gra ffliatemalae Sharpe TYPE 



80.12.31.^2. British Museum. V±ng 68, tail 60, culmen 

 10.0, tarsus 17»0, middle toe minus claw 12.6, 

 Bridges. Guatemala. 



There is no original tag - simply the Eyton tag (I960) 

 with the British Museum number on the reverse. It 

 is this specimen the tail of which is figured in vol. 

 10 in the original description and is automatically 

 the type, even though none is named directly. Note 

 that Sharpe says that the Sabin-(iodman material 

 confirms his diagnosis. 



An adult in perfect late fall pliuoage, the secondaries 

 with no pale edging whatever, plumage very dark and 

 rich, exactly like two specimens from Tactic and 

 Santa Barbara in Vera Paz, 



Skin in good condition. 



British Museum 



Aug. 17, 1939. 



The B. M. v^estem Cordillera material is jmch more 

 orange ventral! y than the Vera Paz specimens. The 

 type locality is undoubtedly Vera Paz but will have 

 to be determined by investigation of Bridge's work.
