H. chiapensis
6
SE side Tonalá, 180 ft., Uriabos, México
Oct. 25 ✓ Specimen 1656: Inner two primaries old, others new.
Two of the median secondaries embeathed a little at base.
Tail looks juvenile - some feathers embathed. Iris brown
darker than 1655, not so red as 1654.
✓ Specimen 1657: Iris full red-brown as in iris dull brown.
✓ Specimen 1658 - Iris full red-brown.
✓ Skull of 1655:
= "partial ossification"
✓ Skull of 1656 - about the same as 1655. = dull pale brown.
✓ Skull of 1657 without ossification - except for a few pillars.
At about 6:30 this morning we collected a
barn of this species in a situation very similar
to that in which I have taken the other specimens
during the last two days. A thicket of densely
leafed small tree-bushes, some covered with
Convolvulus which is in full bloom. Again
bull-horn acacia was present and the situation
was more humid than much of the surrounding
area - a wide fence row of lush-trees bordering
the road and not too distant from houses and
the river. Again noted Petunia purpurea and the
tecard - these seem to be "indicator species"
for H. chiapensis Dalit - have invariably found
the three together in same vegetation.
