STELGIDOPTERYX SALVINI, new species.« 

 SALVni'S ROTieH-WINGED SWALLOW. 



Similar to S. serrijpewnis, but pileum distinctly darker than back, 

 tertials conspicuously margined with white, and chin and throat pale 

 cinnamon or cinnamon-bujff. 



AchiZt male.— Length (skins), 113-120 (115.7); wing, 106-110 (108); 

 tail, 48-62 (49.4); exposed culmen, 6.5-7 (6.8); width of bill at frontal 

 antise, 5-6 (5.4); tarsus, 10-11 (10.1); middle toe, 10.'' 



Southwestern Mexico (La Barca, Jalisco) and Guatemala (Duenas) to 

 Chiriqui (Divala). 



This form resembles S. ruficolUs -uropygialis in its pale cinnamon 

 chin and throat (though the color is hardly so deep), dusky pileum, 

 and whitish margins to tertials, but differs in having the rump con- 

 color with the back and in lacking any dusky spot at end of longest 

 under tail-coverts. Its characters are, therefore, intermediate between 

 those of S. serripennis and 8. ruficollis uropygiaUs; but since the 

 Mexican and Guatemalan specimens are precisely like two from Chiriqui 

 (Divala) and one from Costa Rica (Atiro), I believe it to be distinct 

 from both the forms named. A young bird (from Costa Rica), which 

 I take to be of this form, is indistinguishable from young examples of 

 S. serripennis and therefore very different from the corresponding age 

 of S. ruficollis uropygialis.
