Miller (1955a:168) reported that "this desert species followed the catclaw scrub up the washes to about 4800 feet, the limit of such habitat" in the Sierra del Carmen and also gave evidence of breeding by the Verdin in Coahuila. Amadon and Phillips (1947:578) reported a nest of Auriparus flaviceps at Las Delicias. Burleigh and Lowery (1942:197) obtained a single specimen "in an arroyo a few miles east of Saltillo" and a single specimen "about twenty miles west" of Saltillo. Ridgway (1904:421) reported A. f. ornatus he referred to it as A. f. flaviceps at Monclova. Hellmayr (1934:88) listed A. f. ornatus from Jaral. Findley saw a Verdin 2 mi. S and 3 mi. E San Juan de Sabinas on June 22, 1952. The size (wing, 50 mm.; tail, 43 mm.) of No. 31056 is small for typical representatives of A. f. ornatus. The yellow of the head of No. 31056 is darker than that of the other subspecies of the Verdin, and I have accordingly allocated the specimen to A. f. ornatus. Psaltriparus melanotis lloydi Sennett.--Specimens examined: total 5: 31058 and 31057 from 37 mi. S, 21 mi. E Boquillas, 4100 ft., March 13, 1952; 31060 and 31059 from Sierra de la Encantada (=38 mi. S, 23 mi. E Boquillas), 4400 ft., March 15, 1952; and 35407 (skeleton only) from Sierra del Pino (=5 mi. W, 3 mi. S Acebuches), 6200 ft., May 14, 1954. The Black-eared Bushtit is common in Coahuila. Typical representatives of P. m. lloydi in the northern part of the State range from 4100 feet to 8000 feet. Miller (1955a:168-169) reported P. m. lloydi breeding in the Sierra del Carmen. Marsh and Stevenson (1938:287) obtained a male in the Sierra del Carmen at El Jardin. The size of the testes (3.5 mm.) of No. 31058 suggests breeding by the Black-eared Bushtit 37 mi. S and 21 mi. E Boquillas. Psaltriparus melanotis iulus Jouy.--Specimens examined: total 2: 31659...
