(2755a) Craspedoprion paciftcus Chapm. 



Craspedoprioii pacificus Chapm., Bull. A. M. N. H., XXXIII, 1914, p. 174 (Jun- 

 tas de Tamand, Col.). 



Cyclorhynchus brevirostris Cass., Proc. Acad. N. S. Phila., 1860, p. 144 (R. Tru- ' 

 ando). 



Craspedoprion cequinoctialis Hellm., P. Z. S., 1911, p. 1127 (N<5vita; Noanamd, 

 Col.). 



Char, subsp. — Similar to C. olivaceus in size but color brighter above, the margins 

 to wing-coverts and inner wing-feathers deeper, more tawny, the breast much darker, 

 the belly deeper yellow. 



Appears to be restricted to the Tropical Zone of the Pacific coast.

(2756) Craspedoprion fulvipectus (ScL). 



Cyclorhynchus fulvipectus Sol., P. Z. S., 1860, p. 92 (Nanegal, Ecuador). 

 Rhynchocyclus fulvipectus Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 513 (Frontino). 



Our seven specimens are from the Subtropical Zone of the Western and 

 Eastern Andes. Specimens from Ricaurte in southwest Colombia are - 

 smaller (males, wing, 73.5 as compared with 78 mm.) than those from the 

 Eastern Andes. A male from Aguadita (above Fusugasuga, alt.- 6500 ft.) 

 has the breast much_ paler than in the remaining birds. I have seen no 

 Ecuador examples.

(2757) Rhynchocyclus sulphurescens asemus Bangs. 



Rhynchocyclus sulphurescens asemus Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XXIII, 

 1910, p. 73 (Pavas, alt. 440 ft., W. Andes, Col.). 



Four males, one each from Dabeiba, Cali, Rio Frio and Miraflores, 

 agree in color with the type and two other specimens of asemus, loaned me 

 by Mr. Bangs, but are smaller, the wing averaging 66.5, fhe tail 58.5, as 

 compared with wing, 70; tail, 59 in asemus. 



This form is evidently an offshoot of sulphurescens of northern Colombia, 

 and specimens from the middle Magdalena Valley in their grayer crown, 

 are evidently intermediate between it and Santa Marta specimens {R. s. 

 exortims Bangs); Although in its grayer throat and breast it suggests 

 cinereiceps, it does not, in my opinion, stand as a connectant between that 

 species and sulphurescens, since representatives of both Rhynchocyclus . 

 sulphurescens flavo-olivaceus Lawr. (Type, Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., No. 42669) 

 and R. marginatus Lawr. (Type, Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., No. 42672) were
