This is the rarest and most locally distributed of all the Costa Rican 

 trogons. The only localities where it has thus far been taken are scat- 

 tered around the shores of the Gulf of Nicoya and on the island of 

 San Lucas, in the Gulf. I know nothing of note in regard to its habits, 

 but presume they are similar to those of the other allied species of the 

 genus.
