Laurent, you beat me to it ... while I was preparing, compiling my notes, typing away this post!
But I might post them anyway, as I did had a look at all (?) the other birds named
chiriquensis ...
Simply for completeness sake (regarding the Scientific name/s), as complete as it might be (?), here´s the remaining ones – in chronological order:
● Lesser Elaenia
Elaenia chiriquensis LAWRENCE 1865 (
here): "
List of Birds from near David, Chriqui, New Grenada ..." (New Grenada" is today's Panama) = same Province Chiriquí [Range: widespread, from Costa Rica to NE Argentina]
● the invalid, or valid (?) Hummingbird subspecies
Eugenes fulgens/
spectabilis chiriquensis NEHRKORN 1901 (
here) as "
Eugenes spectabilis chiriquensis"
*: "
aus Chiriqui, ..." [Alleged range: Highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama]
● the (debated) Vireo subspecies
Vireo leucophrys chiriquensis BANGS 1903 (
here), as "
Vireosylva josephæ chiriquensis": "
A New Race ... from Chiriqui" ... "
Type, from Boquete, Volcan de Chiriqui". [Range: S Costa Rica, W Panama]
● the invalid, long-debated species, hybrid or ... (?); Chiriqui Pigeon (
Columba)
Patagioenas chiriquensis RIDGWAY 1915 (
here) as "
Œnœnas chiriquensis: "
A New Pigeon from Chiriqui, Panama" [Earlier, a presumed hybrid, "known only from type", kept in the collection of the US National Museum of Natural History, specimen USNM 14830: "Current Identification: Columba nigrirostris",
here, ...
?]
● the Tapaculo subspecies
Scytalopus argentifrons chiriquensis GRISCOM 1924 (
here, p.3), as "
Scytalopus chiriquensis": "
TYPE: ... Cerro Flores (alt. 5500 ft.), eastern Chiriqui, Panama; ..." See Introduction "...
Cerro Flores ... in extreme eastern Chiriqui" [Range: W Panama]
That´s it! Finally.
Chiriquí ... over and out!

*As Laurent pointed out in post #21:
Not the extended version; "
Eugenes spectabilis chiriquiquensis" as it (as well) was listed (also in 1918), by Hellmayr and Conover, in
Catalogue of birds of the Americas and the adjacent islands ... (
here)
If there ever was another bird truly named
chiriquiquensis (which is listed in today's Key) is all unknown to me.
