Two still more northern localities for this bird are Veragua, whence Arce has sent examples, 

 which are now in the collection of Messrs. Salvin and Godman ; and Costa Eica, where specimens 

 were obtained by Mr. J. Carmiol, in March 1865, as has been recorded by Mr. Cassin. 



Our figures of this species are taken from specimens in Sclater's collection ; the male having 

 been obtained by McLeannan at Panama and the female by Mr. Fraser at Pallatanga.

The synonymy of these species is mostly given in Sclater's American Catalogue.— 

 T. rubrifrons (Lawr. Pr. Ac. Phil. 1865, p. 106), is a newly described species, of which we 

 have, as yet, seen only a single female specimen.
