185. Camptostoma imberbe Sclater. 



Beardless Flycatcher. 



Synonym — Ornithion imberhe ridgwayL 



Status — A rare summer visitant, known to occur in only a limited area in 

 the Santa Cruz Valley, in the vicinity of Tucson. The conditions apparently re- 

 quired by the species, dense growths of tall timber, are met with in Arizona at so 

 very few points, at the low altitudes frequented by the species, that its known 

 range will probably not be greatly extended in the state. 



186. Otocoris alpestris leucolaema (Coues). 



Desert Horned Lark. 



Synonyms — ( ?) Otocoris alpestris, part; ( ?) Ercmophila cormtta, part; 

 Eremophila alpestris var. chrysolaema, part; Otocorys arenicola, part; Otocoris 

 alpestris arenicola, part; Otocoris alpestris enthymia. 



Status — Common winter visitant. There are numerous winter records of 

 horned larks from the northern and central portion of Arizona, some df which are 

 known to pertain to this subspecies, and others that probably do so.

Scorched Horned Lark. 



Synonyms — Ercmophila alpestris chrysolaema, part; (?) Otocoris alpestris 

 chrysolaema, part; Otocoris alpestris aphrasta.

 Spring, Sulphur Spring, and Wilcox.

Sonora Horned Lark. 



Synonyms — Otocoris alpestris arenicola, part; Otocoris alpestris leiicansip- 

 fila.

Montezuma Horned Lark. 



Synonyms — Eremophila conuita, part ; Eremophila alpestris chrysolaema,

 There are breeding records from San Francisco Mountain, Fort Verde, and the 

 Little Colorado River (Oberholser, 1902, p. 855). In the Mogollon Mountains 

 it has been found breeding up to io,-,ooo feet (Mearns, 1890a, p. 256), Local-
