PH/EOCHROA CUVIERI, Delatt. et Bourc; Scl. P. Z. S. 1856, p. 140. David (Bridges). 158. OREOPYRA CALOL.EMA, Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 584. Cordillera de Tole. Several specimens agreeing with the types from Costa Rica. One of these has a few chestnut feathers on either side of the chin, strengthening the view that this is the adult male of O. castaneiventris ; their presence does not, however, settle the point, as chestnut feathers are not unfrequently seen in this region in immature birds of other species, without reference to the coloration of the mature female. 159. OREOPYRA CASTANEIVENTRIS (Gould). Trochilus castaneiventris, Gould, P. Z. S. 1850, p. 163. Adelomyial castaneiventris, Gould, Mon. Troch. iii. pl. 203. Oreopyra castaneiventris, Salvin, P. Z. S. 1864, p. 585. Panterpe insignis, 2 > Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lye. viii. p. 46. Cordillera de Tole; Volcano of Chiriqui (Warszewicz). Arce has sent two specimens, both marked female ; neither of these have so brilliant a crown as the supposed male in Mr. Gould's collection. 160. OREOPYRA LEUCASPIS, Gould, P. Z. S. 1860, p. 312 ; Mon. Troch. iv. pl. 264. Volcano of Chiriqui (Warszewicz). I have seen no additional specimens of this fine species. 161. LAMPORNIS VERAGUENSIS, Gould; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1856, p. 140 ; Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lye. viii. p. 177. David (Bridges; Hicks). 162. THALURANIA VENUSTA, Gould, Mon. Troch. ii. pl. 105. Santa Fe; Santiago de Veragua; Volcano of Chiriqui (Warszewicz). It is hardly possible to distinguish comparatively young birds of this race from the closely allied New Granadan form T. columbica. The last named, however, never appears to assume in old individuals nearly the same extent of blue on the back as is seen in T. venusta. 163. DORIFERA LUDOVICI;E, Bourc. et Muls.; Gould, Mon. Troch. ii. pl. 88(?). Cordillera de Tole. There seems to be considerable individual variation between members of this species ; or I should be inclined to separate, as a distinct race, the bird found in Veragua, a single specimen only of which |
