Typical locality. Divala, Chiriqui.

 Divala, Chiriqui (W. W. Brown coll.). 



$ ad. (Bogava, Chiriqui, 800 feet, 6 Oct., 1903 ; coll. 

 Watson). — Easily distinguished from the typical form by 

 having the head of a much darker crimson-red, the forehead 

 being very slightly or not at all paler than the crown and 

 occiput ; the axillaries and under wing-coverts rather brighter 

 yellow and the thighs much more intense, of a deep gamboge- 

 yellow. The black of the under-parts is rather deeper and 

 more glossy. As in the typical form, there is a large pale 

 yellow chin-spot, and the quills (except the outer primaries) 

 have very distinct yellowish-white inner margins. 



$ . — Exactly like that of the typical form, but upper- and 

 under-parts decidedly brighter-olive greenish, with the middle 

 of the abdomen and the thighs more deeply yellowish. 



Specimens from Costa Rica are absolutely identical with 

 typical Chiriqui skins and shew no approach to P. m. men- 

 talis. Two males from Sevilla Island, off Panama, are not 

 different.
