no. 1840. REVISION OF HAIRY WOODPECKERS— OBERHOLSER. 609 



Type-locality. — Burley, New Mexico. 



Geographical distribution. — Canadian and Transition zones in the 

 mountains of the interior southwestern United States: north to the 

 Beaver Mountains, south central Utah; Ship rock, northwestern 

 New Mexico; and San Pedro, north central New Mexico; east to the 

 Capitan Mountains, east central New Mexico; and the Guadalupe 

 Mountains, central western Texas; south to the San Andres Moun- 

 tains and Silver City, southern New Mexico; and Weber Creek 

 (Tonto Basin), central Arizona; west to the Hualapai Mountains, 

 western Arizona; and Pine Valley, southwestern Utah. 



The present form differs from Dryobates villosus hyloscopus, of 

 northern Lower California and southern California, in longer wing 

 and tail, and in pure white lower parts. There is practically no 

 difference in size between specimens from Arizona and those from 

 most of New Mexico. Those, however, from southwestern New 

 Mexico (Kingston, Cliff, Gila, and Mimbres to Rio Grande) are 

 smaller, and thus intermediate in dimensions between D. v. leu- 

 cothorectis and Dryobates villosus icastus, 1 but are pure white below 

 like the former.

 subjoined localities are represented:
