The nominate race of this jacamar occurs eastward along the north 
bank of the Amazon at least as far as Obidos, whence Griscom and 
Greenway (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 88, 1941, p. 186) record 10 
specimens. No specimens of U. d. brunneiceps Todd have been 
available for study, but while Todd gives the range of brunneiceps as the 
‘north bank of the Amazon, from the Rio Negro west to Peru, and on 
the south bank between the Rio Madeira and the Rio Tapajoz’’ 
(Ann. Carnegie Mus., vol. 30, 1943, p. 6) he assigns Mandos examples 
to the nominate race (p. 4) on the basis of Hellmayr’s notes (Nov. 
Zool., vol. 14, 1907, p. 27).
