difficult to collect. We have also two females from the western slope of the 

 Central Andes above the lower Cauca. In color and size of the bill they 

 appear to be intermediate between castaneiceps and chocoensis, but in default 

 of females of that race for comparison I refer them to castaneiceps.

Conopophaga castaneiceps chocoensis Chapm., Bull. A. M. N. H., XXXIV, 1915, 

 p. 641 (Baudo Mts., Choc6, Col.). 



Char, subsp. — Similar to C. c. castaneiceps but much darker, wings and tail 

 shorter and bill longer; male "with back mummy-brown with an olivaceous cast 

 instead of deep neutral gray (with an i)livaceous wash in immature specimens) ; 

 crown chestnut instead of Sanford's brown, this color darker posteriorly but reaching 

 as far back as the crown-cap in castaneiceps; underparts dark mouse-gray in place 

 of deep neutral gray; the center of the belly whitish the flanks heavily washed with 

 olivaceous. 



Apparently nearer C. c. hrunneinucha Berl. & Stolz. of Peru, but chestnut 

 of crown evidently more extensive and' size smaller. Wing, 68; tail, 39; 

 tarsus, 29; culmen, 15 mm.
