This handsome species is found over a large area in Costa Rica, covering 

 the whole of the Pacific slope and lowlands, the central plateau up to 5,000 

 feet, and down the Caribbean slope to about 2,000 feet. It is most abun- 

 dant on the upper Caribbean slope, between 2,000 and 4,000 feet, its range 

 on the Pacific slope being disputed by the closely allied species M. macur 

 latus nobilis. In habits it is very similiar to Pitangus, Myiozetetes, and 

 Myiarchus, w T ith which it associates. It also feeds extensively on berries 

 and small fruits when in season. I did not notice the nest of this species.

In his "Birds of North and Middle America," Mr. Ridgway gives the 

 range of M. I. bangsi in Costa Rica as the eastern part of that country. I 

 do not see how birds from Juan Vinas and Tucurriqui could be confounded 

 with bangsi, for those I have examined from the Caribbean slope are all 

 typical nigricapillus, the same as birds from British Honduras. M. I.
