London and said to have been procured at Colon, Anthony (1916, 

 p. 375) records examples from Tapalisa and reports having once 

 noted this species at 5,000 feet near Mount Tacarcuna in the Serrania 

 del Darien northeast of the type locality. The exact relationship of 

 A. dariensis to the little known Atcles rufiventris Sclater (1872, 

 p. 688, pi. 57) is somewhat problematical. The latter species, which 

 was described from the Rio Atrato and may range into Panama, 

 seems, however, sufficiently distinguished by the bright rufous color 

 of the underparts. 



Specimens examined: Cituro, i '; Mount Pirre (type locality), i ; 

 Tapahsa, i.* 



BIBLIOGRAPHY 

 The following bibliography comprises the titles of the principal 

 publications bearing upon the mammals of Panama, especially those 

 dealing exclusively with species inhabiting the region. Owing to 

 lack of general knowledge of the mammalian fauna of the area the 

 papers consist largely of brief accounts of new species or subspecies.
