Five skins. 



The first record we have of the occurrence of this species in Costa Rica 

 is that published in the Auk, 1907, 301, by Mr. Bangs, recording the speci- 

 mens collected by Underwood in the Terraba Valley in 1906. Under- 

 wood secured twelve specimens, all of which are typical E. chiriquensis. 

 The following year I secured a small series from Boruca and Buenos Aires. 

 The bird is usually found in company with Myiopagis placens and Myio- 

 zetetes, either in scattering woodland, second-growth scrub, or along the 

 margins of the streams. Its habits are essentially the same as those of 

 the other Costa Rican species of the genus.
