Chloronerpes godmani, Hargitt, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xviii. p. 83 \ 



G. auriculari persimilis, regione oculari sordide albido, tectricibus auricularibus indistincte fasciatis, pileo 

 toto pallidiore cinereo, dorso viridescentiore oleagineo yix tiacto : subtus gula albicantiore, fasciis corporis 

 pallidis angustioribus forsan dignoscendus.

Eab. Mexico, Hacienda de San Marcos, Jalisco ( W. Lloyd i), Hacienda de Santa 

 Gertrudis, Jalisco (Dr. A. C. Buller), Mineral de San Sebastian near Mascota, 

 Jalisco {Dr. A. C. Buller, in Mus. Rothschild). 



We have some doubts whether this species is really distinct from C. auricularis, 

 which it resembles in almost every particular, though slight modifications of tone in the 

 coloration of the plumage can be noticed. The female, upon which Mr. Hargitt based 

 his description, certainly has the area round the eye, the lores, and ear-coverts uniform 

 whity-brown, without grey bands across the latter, but in the male these are to some 

 extent visible. In both sexes the head is paler grey, and the back, too, is of a paler 

 shade than in the allied bird. 



Our first specimen, a female, was sent us by Mr. William Lloyd, who shot it on 

 12th May, 1889, near the Hacienda of San Marcos in the State of Jalisco, at an 

 altitude of 5200 feet above sea-level. We have since obtained a male shot by Dr. A. C. 

 Buller on 20th July, 1892, near the Hacienda of Santa Gertrudis in the same State. 

 Mr. RothschUd also has two specimens, a male and female, from the same collector, 

 which were shot at Mineral de San Sebastian, near Mascota, also in the State of Jalisco, 

 on the 5th May, 1892, and 3rd February, 1893, respectively.

We are not aware of the existence of more than two specimens of this species in. 

 collections, both of them females. Mr. Lawrence received the first from M'Leannan 

 from the Line of the Panama Eailway and described it as a male in 18621. The 

 second specimen was sent us by Arce in one of his last collections made in Veraguas
