The receipt of a number of specimens of this Conurus from Panama and Veragua shows that the species described (I. ci) as distinct from C. pertinax is, in these localities at least, quite constant in coloration. Admitting the difficulty in separating all the forms on which C. pertinax, C. chrysogenys, &c are founded, I think that Dr. Finsch (Papag. i. p. 506) has gone too far in the opposite direction in uniting them all, even C. xantholcemus, Scl., under C. pertinax. 159. CONURUS HOFFMANNI, Cab.; Scl. & Salv. Ex. Orn. p. 161, t. 81 ; Finsch, Papag. i. p. 553. V. de Chiriqui. 160. BROTOGERYS TOVI (Gm.); Finsch, Papag. ii. p. 99. Bugaba ; V. de Chiriqui. 161. CHRYSOTIS GUATEMAL.E, Hartl.; Finsch, Papag. ii. p. 562, t. 4. Bugaba ; V. de Chiriqui. 162. CHRYSOTIS DIADEMATA, Spix. Calovevora; Bugaba. Pionus menstruus. Calobre ; Mina de Chorcha ; Bugaba. 163. IBYCTER AMERICANUS. Mina de Chorcha. 164. MILVAGO CHIMACHIMA (Vieill.). Calobre. No member of this genus has hitherto been found so far north as Veragua, though we possess a specimen of the same species as the present from Chepo on the Isthmus of Panama, where it was shot by Arce in 1864. 165. HERPETOTHERES CACHINNANS (L.). Boqueti de Chitra; Calobre. 166. URUBITORNIS SOLITARIA (Tsch.), F. P.p. 94, t. 2; Verreaux, P.Z.S. 1856, p. 145. Calobre. The acquisition of an immature skin of this species makes another important addition to the Accipitres of Central America. The specimen is not in good condition and is an immature bird, but it agrees well with the bird described by J. Verreaux as in the immature dress of Urubitornis solitaria. |
