Li the heavily wooded regions above the falls of the Orinoco this > 

 species replaces the abundant P. Havipcs acuticauda of the middle and 

 lower stretches of the river. Except during the nesting season it 

 associates in small flocks or family parties which frequently join the 

 mixed companies of birds that are so characteristic of tropical forests. 

 This species was also collected on the Caura River at Suapure 

 (Klages) and Nicare and La Pricion (Andre).-
