312 Mr. O. Salvin's Synopsis 



I have compared specimens from all the localities above 

 mentioned, and find little or no variation in individuals from 

 most distant points of the range of the species. The yellow 

 colour of the under surface is quite uniform, one of the cha- 

 racters by which its northern representative may be recog- 

 nized — S. aurantiaca having the belly of an orange- instead 

 of a lemon-colour, the tint of this part in S. verticalis.

This well-marked species was first discovered by Tschudi 

 in Peru, where it has since been found by Jelski at Chilpes 

 and Punamarca, and by Whitely at Khachupata. Its range 

 also extends into Bolivia, where Mr. Buckley found it and 

 sent us specimens from Simacu.
