Aramus pictus dolosus, subsp. nov. 

 Aramus giganteus auct. nee Bonaparte. 

 Aramus holostictus auct. nee Cabanis. 

 Aramus pictus "Bartram" auct. 

 Aramus vociferus auct. nee Latham. 

 Aramus guarauna auct. nee Wagler. 



Type. — Adult 6% No. 54162, collection Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 Bolson, Costa Rica, 25 December, 1907. Collected by C. F. Underwood. 



Characters. — Similar to Aramus pictus pictus (Meyer) but with white area 

 at the base of the secondaries more developed and extending along the outer 

 web next the shaft for nearly 140 millimeters. This extension of the white 

 area along the secondaries is entirely absent in the material examined repre- 

 sentative of the two preceding forms of Aramus pictus, and makes an excellent 

 and constant character, though I have been unable to detect any other means 

 by which the race may be differentiated.

Range. — Central Mexico south to Costa Rica and Panama, on 

 both east and west sides. 



Specimens examined. — Mexico : Vera Cruz, Tlacoltalpan, 1 9 ,

Remarks. — This series shows a good deal of variation in the 

 amount of white on the interscapulars and wing-coverts; in some 

 specimens it is reduced almost as much as in elucus, while in 

 others it shows a greater development than in pictus.
