Icterus pectoralis (Wagler)
This oriole was previously (Friedmann, 1963:182) known to be victimized in the lowlands of El Salvador. Two recent records from Chiapas—La Encrucijada, Acapetahua, and El Carmen, Pijijiápam—are the first from Mexico. We are indebted to their observer, Señor Miguel Alvarez del Toro, for these records. The nominate races of the host and the parasite are here involved.
