This species of the northern part of South America occurs in the State of Panama 

 as far as the confines of Costa Eica, where its place is taken by C. linearis. From this 

 bird the male may at once be distinguished by its much less lengthened central 

 rectrices. C. pareola of Guiana has a square tail.

The Pacific side of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is the extreme limit of the range of 

 this species in this direction ; thence it spreads throughout Central America to the 

 confines of the State of Panama, but is restricted northward of Nicaragua to the 

 forests bordering the Pacific Ocean, being entirely absent from the more eastern
