316 TANAGEID^. 



The top and sides of the head in Central-American specimens of this species are 

 rather browner than in Bolivian examples, and the breast less golden ; but these 

 diflFerences are very slight. The species has a close ally in the true C. ophthalmicus of 

 Mexico, but it may be distinguished by the darker olive colour of the back, the darker 

 head, the smaller postocular white spot, and the less pronounced dark mark under the eye. 



C. albitemporalis has a much wider range than any of the other Central-American 

 members of the genus, but it has not been observed north of the mountain-region of 

 Costa Rica. Here, however, it appears to be common, and also in the adjoining State 

 of Panama.

The only specimens we have received of this distinct species were those obtained by 

 Arce in the Cordillera del Chucu in 1869, which furnished the types of the description 

 and of the figure now given. 



The white spot behind the eye associates C. pimctulatus with C. ophthalmicus and its 

 allies, but it differs from these in having a black head, and especially in the throat being 

 spotted with black. This latter character separates it from C.pileatus, which has also a 

 black head, and is further distinguished by its superciliary and postocular white streaks.
