Santa Fe. 22. DENDRCECA ESTIVA (Gm.); Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lye. viii. p.174. Rhimamphus cestivus, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1856, p. 141. Santa Fe; David (Bridges; Hicks). 23. OPORORNIS FORMOSUS (Wils.) ; Baird, Rev. *\m. B. p. 218. Santa Fe. 24. BASILEUTERUS MESOCHRYSUS, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1860, p. 251; Baird, Rev. Am. B. p. 250. Santa Fe\ A specimen of this Basileuterus sent by Arce agrees well with a Bogota specimen, which must be ascribed to B. mesochrysus, Scl., its wings considerably exceeding in length those of a Guatemalan specimen of B. delattrii, Bp., the bill being much larger, and the yellow of the under plumage brighter. I have little doubt Baird is right in referring the Costa Rican specimens to this race, which seems to maintain these constant differences. Northwards of Costa Rica its place is occupied by B. delattrii, Bp., which extends its range over the whole of Guatemala (South Mexico doubtfully). In South Mexico B. delattrii again gives way to B. rufifrons, Sw., a race which is also found very rarely in Guatemala (Salvin, Ibis, 1866, p. 192). 25. BASILEUTERUS UROPYGIALIS, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1861, p. 128, & 1865, p. 286, pl. x. f. 2; Sclater & Salvin, P. Z. S. 1864, p. 347; Baird, Rev. Am. B. p. 246. Santa Fe. Besides a specimen from the above locality, Arce has, in a previous collection, sent a specimen of this species from Costa Rica; so that this representative of the section of Basileuterus, of which B. semi-cervinus is the type, belongs clearly to the Central American fauna. 26. SETOPHAGA RUTICILLA (L.); Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lye. viii. p. 174. Santa Fc; David (Hicks). 27. SETOPHAGA TORQUATA, Baird, Rev. Am. B. p. 261. Cordillera de Tole. I also possess a specimen from Costa Bica, the country whence Baird's types were obtained, collected by Arce, agreeing with this Veraguan example. |
