specimens most of them agree essentially with Plate II, in the Biologia 

 CentraU Americana, and both above and below are therefore much more 

 richly colored than four old Guatemalan skins, the pale colors of which 

 Salvin tells us {I. c.) are due to fading. Comparison with freshly collected 

 Central American specimens is needed to determine the status of the Andean 

 form for which the name Catharm maculatus (Scl., P. Z. S., 1858, p. 64, 

 Napo) is available.
