PISOBIA SUBMINUTA (Middendorff)
LONG-TOED STINT
HABITS
I prefer the above name, as adopted by Robert Ridgway (1919), to the
Check List name, _damacensis_, as it seems to have more certain
application. The status of the species and its nomenclature is fully
discussed by Dr. Leonhard Stejneger (1885).
