Amblycercus holosericeus (Deppe)
Miguel Alvarez del Toro informs us that he found a nest of this cacique parasitized by the bronzed cowbird at Isla La Conceptión, Acapetahua, Chiapas, 20 May 1968. Previously the species had been reported as victimized in Costa Rica (Kiff, 1973:241). In both the Mexican and the Costa Rican instances the nominate races of the host and of the parasite are involved.
