Range : Colombia. 

 i: "Colombia," the type. 



Chrysoptilus punctigula zulicE CORY: Similar to C. p. punctipectus from Cumana, 

 Venezuela, in general coloration of upper parts, but differs in having the throat much 

 blacker, the white spots being much smaller, and the under parts, except middle of 

 lower abdomen, with rounded black spots somewhat approaching C. p. guttatus from 

 northern Peru. It differs from C. p. guttatus from Peru in its much more olive and 

 less golden green back with smaller and narrower black bands on the upper parts; 

 smaller white spots on the throat and lack of reddish tinge on the lower throat and 

 upper breast (the last character may vary with age). From C. p. ujhelyii and C. p. 

 striatigularis it may be distinguished at a glance by its spotted (not streaked) throat, 

 more heavily banded upper parts, and other characters. Wing, 99; tail, 70; bill, 21; 

 tarsus, 1 8 mm. 



b Chrysoptilus punctigula notata subsp. nov.: Type from Colombia. Male, No. 

 11697; received from C. Balen. General coloration approaching C. p. zulia, but 

 spotting very different. Throat black, merely sparsely speckled with white; under 

 parts, including flanks, heavily spotted with black (some spots on the chest measur- 

 ing 6 mm. in width); bars on outer tail feathers more obscure; rump and upper tail
