Rather darker in colour than Guatemalan specimens (typical), but not otherwise distinct. 115. PIPRA MENTALIS, Scl. Mina de Chorcha; Bugaba. Pipra leucocilla. Calovevora ; Chitra ; Boqueti de Chitra. Pipra leucorrhoa. Calovevora; Laguna del Castillo; Bugaba; V. de Chiriqui. Pipra cyaneocapilla. Bugaba ; V. de Chiriqui. Chiroxiphia lanceolata. Castillo ; Calovevora ; Chitra ; Boqueti de Chitra ; Calobre ; Mina de Chorcha. 116. CHIROMACH^ERIS AURANTIACA, sp. n. Supra olivacea, pileo toto, interscapulio et alis nigris, collo postico et corpore subtus leete aurantiacis, primariis extus et cauda olivaceo indutis : rostro nigro, pedibus carneis. Fern, olivacea, uropygio et corpore subtus dilutioribus : long, tota 3*8, alee 1*8, caudee 1*2, tarsi 0*75. Hab. Mina de Chorcha et Bugaba (Arce). Obs. C. vitellinee similis, sed statura minore, ventre aurantiaco nee olivaceo, et colore subtus saturatiore aurantiaco facile dignoscenda. In the distribution of its colours this species much resembles C. vitellina (Gould) ; but the distinctions given above suffice to show that it must be considered a different species. That a distinct race of Chiromachceris should now be found in Veragua is remarkable, seeing that in Costa Rica we find the Central- American C. candeei, whilst at Panama C. vitellina occurs. Arce has sent a sufficient number of specimens to prove that the characters given above are quite constant. 117. COTINGA AMABILIS, Gould? Bugaba. I doubt whether an immature specimen of a Cotinga from Chiriqui is really referable to C. amabilis; but as that species is stated to be found both in Costa Rica and at Panama, it is more than probable that it should also occur at Chiriqui. This specimen is much darker than a female example of C. amabilis from Vera Paz ; and the edgings of the feathers both above and below are pale cinnamon-colour, instead of grey. The tail, too, is tipped with the same colour. Chasmorhynchus tricarunculatus. Calovevora. |
