Saltator atriceps raptor (Cabot). 2, both sexes, Camp Mengel, March 

 24 and April 13. 



The Yucatan form of Saltator atriceps was originally described by S. Cabot 

 Jr. (Journal Boston Soc. N. H., v, 1S44, 90, pi. 12) as Pyrrula raptor. It 

 differs from S. a. atriceps in having the breast and abdomen much paler 

 gray and the flanks almost lacking any olivaceous wash. The birds aver- 

 age about the same size as «S. a. atriceps. The constantly lighter color of 

 the underparts of S. a. raptor is very striking in the series examined.
