Show 1867.] MR. O. SALVIN ON THE BIRDS OF VERAGUA. 147 109. TODIROSTRUM CINEREUM (L.); Scl. P. Z. S. 1856, p. 141. Santa Fe ; David (Bridges). 110. COLOPTERUS PILARIS, Cab.; Scl. Cat. Am. B. p. 210. Santa Fe. The curious formation of the first four primaries, which constitutes the character of this genus, is carried to greater excess in this than in the other species referable to the same genus. 111. SERPOPHAGA CINEREA (Strickl.) ; Scl. Cat. Am. B. p. 211. Santa Fe'. No member of this genus has hitherto been noticed north of the Isthmus of Panama. The single specimen sent differs in no way from examples from New Granada and Ecuador, over which countries S. cinerea ranges. < 112. MIONECTES OLEAGINEUS, Licht.; Scl. Cat. Am. B. p. 213; Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 358. Santa Fe. 113. TYRANNISCUS PARVUS, Lawr.; Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 359. Santa Fe. Arce has also sent specimens of this species from Turialba in Costa Rica. 114. TYRANNULUS ELATUS (Spix) ; Sclater, Cat. Am. B. p. 215 ; P.Z.S. 1856, p. 141. David (Bridges). 115. ELAINEA SUBPAGANA, Scl. & Salv.; Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lye. viii. p. 177. Santa Fe'; David (Hicks). The type specimens of this species were shot at Duenas, in the highlands of Guatemala. The bird is, however, much more abundant further to the southward, hardly any collection coming from those districts without containing examples. 116. ELAINEA CHIRIQUENSIS, Lawr. Ann. N.Y. Lye. viii. p. 176. Santa Fe ; David (Hicks). A single specimen from this locality corresponds fairly with Mr. Lawrence's description. Its general appearance is that of E. sub-pagana; it is, however, smaller and more obscurely coloured, as the original description shows; the feet, too, are weaker, and the concealed white patch of the crown not so large. 11 7. ELAINEA SEMIFLAVA, Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lye. viii. p. 177. David (Hicks). |
