Troglodytes inquietus. 
Troglodytes inquietus, LAwnENcE, MSS. 
Troglodytes hypedon, Lawrence, Ann. N. Y. Lye. VII, 1861, 320 
(Panama R. R.). 
Hab. Isthmus of Panama. 
(109, 9.) First primary much developed; more than half the longest. Color 
above brown, with a grayish tinge towards the head, and slightly rufous on 
the rump. Exposed surface of wings and tail barred with black (more obso- 
letely on wing coverts), the dark bars rather the narrower. The back faintly 
barred. Beneath pale fulvous whitish, lighter on throat and middle of belly ; 
tinged with brown on sides, the posterior parts of which are faintly barred. 
Crissum barred conspicuously with black, the interspaces yellowish-brown to 
whitish. Quite a distinct superciliary line. No spots on wing coyerts. 
Of the two specimens, the 4% is considerably lighter, almost white beneath. 
(109, 9, Panama R. R.) Total length, 4.50; wing, 2.05; tail, 1.85; gradua- 
tion, .45 ; exposed portion of Ist primary, .85, of 2d, 1.31, of longest (measured 
from exposed base of Ist primary),°1.55; length of bill from forehead, .67, 
from nostril, .43, along gape, .76; tarsus, .76; middle toe and claw, 72; hind 
toe and claw, .59; claw alone, .26. ; 
This species was at first considered by Mr. Lawrence to be the 
same with hypadon (intermedius) ; but a careful comparison with 
type specimens has shown their distinctness. It is considerably 
larger, with longer bill and legs. The first primary is much larger. 
The colors beneath are paler; the lower part of sides distinctly 
barred. The upper parts are considerably grayer. 
None of the other small American allied Wrens before me (except 
T. brunneicollis) have a first primary decidedly more than half the 
leneth of longest, and their tails are longer. The coloring above re- 
sembles almost exactly that of 7. parkmanni and the Mexican var. 
of 7. «don, although the dark bars are more numerous. The under 
parts are more fulvous; the bars on sides anteriorly less distinct ; 
the bars on the crissum more regular, and better defined. There 
are no light spots on the wing coverts as in the North American 
species. 
This species comes nearest «don and its allies ; while intermedius 
is more like the South American species, with their comparative 
absence of bars.
