and at San Jose. Cf. Chapman, Distr. Bird-life Colombia, p. 389, who 

 concludes that Formic, nigricapillus and destructus, " form a small and distinct 

 group, distinguished mainly by its jet black head " and tail markings, so that 

 destructus would become Formic, nigricapillus destructus. Cf. also Kidgway.)

(Described from a single $, and, as far as I know, not yet recorded again.

 the underside deeper coloured, more rufous, the throat hardly paler than the 

 rest of the underside, the crown more rufous.)
