Premnoplex brunnescens distinctus Griscom, 1927: 5 (Chitra, 4000 ft., Pacific slope of Veraguas, western Panama).

Now Premnoplex brunnescens brunneicauda (Lawrence,

1865). See Wetmore, 1972: 76.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 257134 , adult male, collected at Chitra , 4000 ft, 08°32′N, 80°38′W (Selander and Vaurie, 1962: 26), Pacific slope of Veraguas, western Panama, on 11 March 1926, by Rex R. Benson (no. 2415).

COMMENTS: Vaurie (1980: 233, 236) placed this genus in Margarornis , synonymizing distinctus with M. b. brunnescens , and otherwise recognizing only M. b. tatei .

Selander and Vaurie (1962: 26) originally published this locality as being on the Atlantic slope of Veraguas; however, in an undated and unpublished list of corrigenda, they noted the error.
