Tanagra coelestis major Berlepsch and Stolzmann, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1896, p. 343 



(La Merced, Peru); Ornis, 1906, p. 81 (Santa Ana). 

 Tanagra coelestis Sclater and Salvin, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1876, p. 16 (Huiro; 



Potrero). 



Inhabits the arid Tropical Zone and ranges upward to the lower 

 border of the Subtropical. The present form, coelestis and leucop- 

 tera are evidently representatives of one species. Several of our 

 Peruvian specimens closely resemble others from the Bogota region. 



Santa Ana, 1 male, 1 female; Idma, 4 males, 1 female; Chauillay, 

 1 male; San Miguel Bridge, 2 males, 2 females.

T[anagra] darwini laeta Berlepsch and Stolzmann, Ornis, vol. 13, 1906, p. 81 



(Cuzco; Idma). 

 Tanagra darwini Sclater and Salvin, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1869, p. 151 (Tinta). 



Specimens from Cuzco, Galea, and Pisac are topotypical. There 

 appears to exist no clear understanding regarding the limits of the 

 range of this form and T. d. darwini. I have seen no specimens of 

 the latter.

 1 female (breeding, April 20); Galea, 3 males, 2 females; Pisac, 1
