Show 1867.] MR. O. SALVIN ON THE BIRDS OF VERAGUA. 151 the district I am now investigating, and that its place is taken at once as we proceed towards the southern continent by M. subru-fescens. 142. MOMOTUS MARTII, Spix. Santa Fe and Santiago de Veragua. 143. PRIONIRHYNCHUS PLATYRHYNCHUS, Leadb.; Scl. & Salv. P.Z.S. 1864, p. 362. Santa Fe. This species appears to be quite common on the Isthmus of Panama, and thence spreads northward through Veragua. 144. PHAROMACRUS MOCINNO, La Llave, Forest of Boqueti (Bridges). Specimens of the Quezal have also been obtained in Costa Bica (see Cabanis, J. f. Orn. 1862, p. 175). 145. TROGON AURANTIIVENTRIS, Gould, P. Z. S. 1856, p. 107. Santa Fe ; Cordillera de Tole ; David (Bridges). 146. TROGON CALIGATUS, Gould; Sclater & Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 364. Santa Fe. 147. TROGON ATRICOLLIS, Vieill.; Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 364. Trogon tenellus, Cab. J. f. O. 1862, p. 173. Santa Fe, Santiago de Veragua, and Cordillera de Tole. Brazilian specimens of this species usually have the central rec trices rather more bronzy green. This is the only difference I can detect which at all justifies Cabanis's separation of the Central American race. The difference is \~ery slight, and not constant. 148. TROGON CLATHRATUS, Salvin, P. Z. S. 1866, p. 74. Santa Fe ; Santiago de Veragua; Cordillera de Tole. Since I described this fine species Arce has sent a specimen of the female, of which I now give the following description :- 2 . Saturate cinereus, alis et cauda nigricantioribus : rectricibus tribus externis albo anguste transfasciatis : abdomine rufescente tincto, ventre into et crisso coccineis .- rostro superiore fusco-nigro, basi et mandibula inferiore flavis. 149. TROGON MASSENA, Gould. Santiago de Veragua; Cordillera de Tole'. 150. GALBULA MELANOGENIA, Scl. P. Z. S. 1856, p. 139. David (Bridges). |
