212 MR. o. SALVIN O N T H E BIRDS OF VERAGUA. [Mar. 24, 150. CAPITO BOURCIERI (Lafr.); Salv. Ibis, 1870, p. 111. V. de Chiriqui. Arce has forwarded two specimens of this species, one of which is marked as a male. 151. PICUMNUS OLIVACEUS, Lafr.; Malh. Mon. Pic t. 120; Sundev. Consp. Av. Pic. p. 104. IP. granadensis, Lawr. Ann. Lye. N. Y. vii. p. 333 (Panama). Mina de Chorcha; Bugaba. Both sexes of this species have been obtained by Arce. These skins, and one we have from Panama, agree with New-Granadan (Bogota) examples, which seem to answer fairly to Lafresnaye's description. Campephilus hcematogaster. Calovevora. Campephilus malherbii. Calovevora. 152. Picus JARDINII, Malh. ; Sundev. Consp. Av. Pic p. 17. V. de Chiriqui. Chloronerpes caboti. Cordillera del Chucu. 153. CHLORONERPES CANIPILEUS (Lafr. & d'Orb.); Scl. Cat. Am. B. p. 339 ; Sundev. Consp. Av. Pic. p. 69. Cordillera del Chucu ; V. de Chiriqui. Specimens from Veragua agree better with New-Granadan than with Costa-Rican and Guatemalan examples. 154. CHLORONERPES SIMPLEX, sp. n. $ . Oleagineo-virescens : pileo, gula et pectore paulo obscuriori-bus, nucha rubra: pectore viridi-albido guttato: abdomine pallide virescente, nigricante transfasciato : alis castaneis, extus concoloribus, primariorum et secundariorum apicibus nigris, remigibus omnibus nigro transfasciatis: cauda nigra extus dorso concolori: tectricibus subalaribus castaneis : rostro pedibus plumbeis : long, tota 6'7, alee 4*3, caudce 2*6, rostri rictu 0*95, tarsi 0*7. Hab. Bugaba (Arce). Obs. C. aurulento affinis quoad alarum picturam, sed capitis colo-ribus valde distinctus. This species, of which Arce has as yet sent only a single female specimen, belongs to the same section as C. aurulentus (Licht.), in­asmuch as the chestnut markings of the wing-feathers are interrupted by black bands (in this species, however, hardly reaching across the feathers). The absence of the yellow throat, the red rictal spot, and the yellow band stretching backwards from the base of the bill under the eye, render further comparison with that species unnecessary.
