Antrostomus rufus rufus Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, XXIV, 191 1, 

 .188 ("Santa Marta Mts." ; meas.). — Ridgway, Bull. -U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 

 50, VI, 1914, 510 (San Sebastian and Matajira, in range; references). 



Three specimens: Matajira, Mamatoco, and Valencia. 



A very rare species, for which there are only four records for this 

 region. Mr. Brown took one at San Sebastian on July 15, 1899; Mr. 

 Smith sent in a single specimen, collected at Matajira on April 16, 

 1899; and the writer' secured a third in a tract of woodland near Mama- 

 toco, July 31, 1913. The fourth record is based on a bird shot by him 

 near Valencia, in the Rio Cesar Valley, August 7, 1920. 



The female collected by Mr. Smith was brooding a set of two eggs, 

 which are now in the Carnegie Museum. They resemble in general 

 those of the Whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferus), but are more 

 scrawled than splotched with dull lilac, the shell-markings being very 

 conspicuous. Size, 30 X 23 mm. They were laid on the bare ground, 

 in a thicket in open land. 



157. Setopagis parvula heterura Todd. 



Setopagis heterurus (sic) Todd, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, XXVIII, 1915, 

 81 (La Tigrera; orig. descr. ; type in coll. Carnegie Mus.). — Apolinar 

 Maria, Bol. Soc. Cien. Nat. Inst. La Salle, HI, 1915, 88 (ref. orig. descr.). 

 ■ — -Cory, Field Mus. Zool. Series, XIII, 1918, 135 (ref. orig. descr.; range). 



One specimen : La Tigrera. 



This bird is obviously so closely related to 5*. parvula (Gould), of 

 which we have six Bolivian skins and the American Museum of Nat- 

 ural History three from Brazil, that it should doubtless be regarded 

 as conspecific. In the color and markings of the upper surface the 

 two forms are entirely similar, but the under parts in the new form 

 are somewhat darker. The tail is broadly tipped with white, the two 

 outer rectrices on each side having white on hath webs, 15 to 18 mm. 

 wide along the shafts. The next two pairs have only the inner webs 

 so tipped, while the middle pair have no white at all. In 5'. p. parvula 

 the white is mostly confined to the inner webs on all the rectrices (ex- 

 cept of course the middle pair), and is much less in extent, running 

 only 1 1 mm. or less along the shafts. The white patch on the wings is 

 also decidedly larger in heterura than in parvula. Measurements : 

 wing, 138; tail, 90; bill, 11; tarsus, 15. 



The type and only specimen (a male) was taken May 6. 1913, about 

 a mile below La Tigrera, where it was flushed from a thicket in the 

 daytime.
