Resident. This race of the Common Ground Dove, formerly known 

 from Honduras to Costa Rica, has been discovered recently at three 

 localities along the Pacific coast of Herrera and Los Santos. Presum- 

 ably the species had previously been overlooked. In Herrera, Fran- 

 cisco Delgado collected 2 females at Cienegon del Mangle, near Chitre, 

 on June 20, 1977, and 1 male at Playa El Agallito, on February 27, 

 1980. The specimens are in the collection of the Gorgas Memorial 

 Laboratory Museum. On December 30, 1977, Victor H. Tejera N. 

 collected 2 at Salinas Villas, Los Santos. They are in the Museo de 

 Vertebrados of the University of Panama. 



Family PSITTACIDAE: Parrots; Loros y Pericos 



PYRRHURA PICTA subsp.: Painted Parakeet, Perico Cabecirrosado 



Pyrrhura picta subsp. Delgado, in press, Ornith. Monogr. (Los Piraguales, El 

 Cortozo de Tonosi, Los Santos Province, Panama.) 



Most remarkable was the discovery in 1979 by Francisco Delgado of 

 a population of this parakeet in the Marroquin Mountains in the south- 

 western Azuero Peninsula, Los Santos Province, as the nearest popu- 

 lation of this species is P. p. subandina Todd, from the valley of the 

 Rio Sinu in northern Colombia. Specimens in breeding condition were 

 obtained in January and February in 1979 and 1980. These proved to 

 be a distinct new subspecies, differing both in coloration and bill size, 

 and soon to be named after Eugene Eisenmann (Delgado, Ornith. 

 Monogr., in press). The birds occur in humid forest and at forest 

 edges, usually in groups of 2 or 3 but at times in flocks of up to 20. 

 There is some evidence of seasonal elevational movements.

Two ara^aris collected recently in Darien are intermediate between 

 P. t. torquatus, found on the Pacific slope from the western Canal Zone 

 area eastward through Darien to the Colombian border, and on the
