TANGARA ICTEROCEPHALA ICTEROCEPHALA (Bonaparte) 



Ceil lis te icterocephala Bonaparte, 1851, Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris, p. 76. 

 (Valley of Punta Playa, south of Quito, Ecuador.) 



Characters. — Similar to T. i. frantzii of western Panama in bright 

 coloration, but with feathers of crown and nape more greenish basally, 

 so that the yellow in this area appears less intense; the partly concealed 

 ring across the base of the hindneck deeper blue; foreneck and throat 

 faintly darker. 



Measurements. — Males (10 from Darien to Ecuador), wing 71.2- 

 75.0 (72.2), tail 44.2-48.5 (45.8), oilmen from base 12.1-12.5 (12.3), 

 tarsus 16.0-17.3 (16.8) mm. 



Females (9 from Darien to Ecuador), wing 66.6-72.3 (68.7), tail 

 41.9-46.2 (42.7), culmen from base 12.2-14.2 (12.7), tarsus 16.2-17.5 

 (17.2) mm. 



Resident. This race at present is recorded in Panama from only a 

 few localities in eastern Darien. Two specimens in the American Mu- 

 seum of Natural History were collected by Anthony and Ball, Febru- 

 ary 28, 1915, at 800 m elevation on the Panamanian side of Cerro Mali, 

 and E. A. Goldman took a female on April 29, 1912, at 1600 m on 

 Cerro Pirre. I collected a pair at Cerro Tacarcuna (1380 m) on Feb- 

 ruary 28, 1964. Goldman's notes mention that the female he collected 

 was "breeding." To the south it ranges through the western Andes of 

 Colombia to southwestern Ecuador.
