1870.] MR. 0. SALVIN ON THE BIRDS OF VERAGUA. 207 
In the view I here adopt, all the cinnamon-breasted birds from 
Calobre &c. belong to this species. Whether all those collected in 
Costa Rica belong to the same remains to be seen. We have only 
two males as yet from the volcano of Chiriqui. 
Lampornis veraguensis. 
Calobre ; Cordillera del Chucu. 
This Humming-bird has a very restricted range, answering nearly 
to that of Chiromacheris aurantiaca described above. At Panama 
the common Z. mango (Linn.) is found, and in Costa Rica the Gua- 
temalan L. prevosti (Less.), L. veraguensis occupying a small area 
between the two. 
Heliodoxa jacula. 
Calovevora; Boqueti de Chitra. 
Thalurania venusta. 
Calovevora ; Chitra ; Boqueti de Chitra. 
Microchera albo-coronata. 
Cordillera del Chucu.

Intr. p. 84. 
Castillo ; Laguna del Castillo. 
Apparently common at certain seasons in this locality. 
134. LopHORNIS ADORABILIS, sp. n. 
Supra nitenti-virescens : dorso postico albo, uropygio purpureo 
tincto: alis brunneo-nigris : cauda rufa extus viridescente lim- 
bata et rectricibus mediis eodem colore terminatis: fronte et 
ptleo medio albis, plumis illius erectis et cupreo terminatis, 
plumis hujus elongatis in fila productis et cristam albam for- 
mantibus : subtus gule totius viridescentis plumis lateralibus 
longissimis, supra dorsum retroductis ; pectore albo, ventre et 
crisso rufis, illo antice viridescente mixto: rostri basi carnea, 
apice fusco, pedibus fuscis: long. tota 2°7, ale 1:55, caude 
rectr. med. 1:0, rectr. lat. 0°9, rostri a rictu 0°55. 
Fem. capite et regione auriculari nigris: gula tota alba viridi- 
@neo parum punctata: cauda fascia lata subapicali nigra trans- 
vittata, rectricibus mediis medialiter viridescente tinctis : long. 
caude rectr. med. 0°8, lat. 0°65. 
Hab. Bugaba; V. de Chiriqui (Arcé). 
This beautiful species is singularly distinct from any of its con- 
geners, but perhaps belongs rather to the ZL. magnifica group than 
to that containing L. helene. In the whole genus, however, no other 
member has the erectile feathers on the forehead, the thread-like 
white plumes of the crest, or the long pointed feathers of the throat, 
which all combine to render this bird most distinct when compared 
with its allies. 
The first specimen obtained by Arcé was a female, which, though
