Some of the November and February birds were noted by the collec- 
tors as being in breeding condition. 
The two birds from the Brazo Casiquiare and the one from San 
Antonio are the northernmost records for the race and appear to be 
the first ones from Venezuela as far as published records go. As is 
noted under the first form, a few of the males from as far north as 
Cerro Yapacana on the Upper Orinoco, here referred to T. f. fissilis, 
differ very slightly indeed from nigrofasciata. Their present allocation 
is due to the fact that the majority of the specimens from that locality 
are fissilis.

12-29, 1931. 
These specimens appear to be the first ones recorded from Venezuela 
and constitute a sizable northward extension of the known range 
of the form. All have white under tail coverts (the nominate form, 
which ranges from the Guianas and lower Amazonia westward to 
eastern Venezuela, has these feathers greenish). The race was pre- 
viously known from northwestern Brazil from the Upper Rio Negro 
west to eastern Peru.
