BIRDS OF WESTERN COLOMBIA, 1145 



Lathria unirvfus castaneotinctus Hartert, Nov. Zool. ix. p. 610 

 (1902.— Rio Durango, N.W. Ecuador). 



Lathria unirtifa (nee Sclater) Havtert, Nov. Zool. v, 1898, 

 p. 490 (Cachabi, N.W. Ecuador); Sclater & Salvin, P. Z. S. 1879, 

 p. 518 (Remedies, Neche). 



Lipangus unirufus (nee Sclater) Cassin, Proc. Acad. N. Sci. 

 Pliilad. 1860, p. 143 (Turbo, R. Tru^ndo). 



Nos. 2306, 2315, 2045, 2175. 6 6 ad. Novita : 18, 20.xi. ; 

 Noanama : l.ix.08 ; Sipi, Rio Sipi : lO.x.08. — Wing 130-135; 

 tail 102-108; bill 20-21 mm. 



Nos. 2217, 2342, 2343, 2423. $ $ ad. Cajon, R. Cajon : 

 28.X.08 ; Novita : 27.xi., 22.xii.08.— Wing 123-128 ; tail 101-105 ; 

 bill 20-21 mm. 



" Iris dark brown, feet grey, maxilla brown, mandible pale 

 brown or grey." 



These specimens agree with topotypieal birds from N.W. 

 Ecuador and differ from L. ti. clara Ridgw. * of southern 

 Central America, in having the back decidedly brighter, more 

 cinnamon-rufous, and the under parts also darker, deep tawny- 

 ochraceous. The bill also is light brown instead of blackish 

 horn-colour. 



The specimens from Antioqvua (Remedios, Neche) in the 

 British Museum likewise belong to this form ; and so probably 

 also do those obtained by Lieut. Michler's expedition to the Rio 

 Truando (although they are referred by Mr. Ridgway t to 

 L. u. dara)^ since the fauna of the Atrato region is essentially 

 identical with that of the Choeo district. 



L. It,, castaneotlncta, therefore, appears to range from the coast 

 of the gulf of Uraba through Western Colombia to the province 

 of Esmeraldas, N.W. Ecuador.

Nos. 2355, 2375. S 6 ad. Novita : 30.xi., 7.xii.08.— Wing 104,

 tail 90; bill 19 mm. 



" Iris dark brown, feet dark grey or black, maxilla blackish, 

 mandible brown." 



These birds, which are to be regarded as topotypieal of L u. 

 rosenhergi, differ from Central American skins in their darker
