Show 1870.] MR. o. SALVIN O N THE BIRDS OF VERAGUA. 195 Myrmotherula menetriesi. Calovevora; Chitra; Bugaba; V. de Chiriqui. The undetermined species, no. 93 of my previous list, is, I tl ink, a female of this species, wbich is the only member of the genus Arce has yet sent us from Veragua. Mr. Lawrence enumerates four species of this genus as found in Costa Rica, two of which I have not yet seen; the two others are also found at Panama, and may therefore belong to Veragua, but have hitherto escaped notice. I may also mention that we possess a skin collected by Carmiol in Costa Rica, which does not differ from these Veraguan birds, to which we have applied the above name. 87. FORMICIVORA BOUCARDI, Scl. Cat. Am. B. p. 183. Bugaba. Ramphoccenus rufiventris. Calobre ; Bugaba. Ramphoccenus semitorquatus. Calovevora. Cercomacra tyrannina. Mina de Chorcha ; Bugaba. 88. MYRMECIZA IMMACULATA, Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 357. Bugaba. Agrees with Panama specimens. The species is also found in Costa Rica (Lawr. Ann. Lye. N. Y. ix. p. 109). 89. PITHYS BICOLOR, Lawr.; Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 357. Bugaba. This species is also found in Costa Rica (Lawr. I. ci). Arce's specimens agree with others from Panama, whence the types were obtained. 90. GYMNOCICHLA NUDICEPS, Cass.; Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 356, et 1869, p. 417. Mina de Chorcha ; Bugaba. Specimens, including examples of both sexes, from the district of Chiriqui, agree with Panama skins of the true G. nudiceps, Cassin. A little further north, in Costa Rica, the race Sclater and I described as G. chiroleuca is found, which extends onwards into Honduras. 91. FORMICARIUS HOFFMANNI (Cab.) ; J. f. Orn. 1861, p. 95 ; Salv. P.Z.S. 1666, p. 75. Bugaba. This bird seems to be much more abundant at Panama than further to the northward, as no additional specimens have been obtained in Costa Rica since the original examples were sent to Berlin by Dr. Hoffmann. |
