 (La Morelia, Amazonian Colombia). 



(?) Chrysoptilus speciosus MALHERBE (ex Sclater MS) Mon. Picidae, IV, 1862, 

 pi. LXXXVII, fig. 5 b . 



It is possible that the range of C. p. punctigula may be found to extend to the 

 greater part of the Amazon Valley (cf Chapman, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., p. 349, 

 in text), and that the range of C. p. guttatus is confined to the upper Amazon region. 



b I am in doubt regarding C. speciosus Malherbe. In this connection see Hell- 

 mayr, Abh. K. Bayer. Akad. Wiss., XXII, 1906, p. 607, and Hargitt, Cat. Bds. Brit. 

 Mus., XVIII, 1890, p. 117 (footnote).
