later expeditions have all been stibclcgans! None have been seen having 
the rump and upper tail-coverts barred — the distinguishing character of 
terricolor. I am inclined to agree with Richmond^ that terricolor of 
Berlepsch is the same as subclcgaus of Bonaparte.

T[ripsurus] rubrifrons Ridgway, Birds of N. & M. America \T : 1914: 
118. 
In the Berlepsch and Hartert paper, birds from Suapure { Caura 
River) are entered as cruentatus. There are, however, in the American 
Museum collections, six Caura River specimens (one male from Suapure 
and four females and one male from La Union) that are certainly 
rubrifrons. The Suapure male shows a distinct, although imperfect, 
postocular superciliary stripe ; it is entirely absent in the four females 
and male from La Union : and none of the specimens show a trace of 
the conspicuous yellow nuchal band of cruentatus.
