Bab. Andes of Merida, Venezuela. 



This is another representative form of B. schistaceus. The front 

 is chestnut like the cap, which distinguishes it from B. taczanowshii. 

 From B. schistaceus it may be recognized by the absence of the alar 

 speculum, and by the lighter chestnut colour of the head.
