BIRDS FROM BRAZIL AND SOUTHERN VENEZUELA—FRIEDMANN 481 
Carriker (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, vol. 84, 1932, pp. 3-4) 
lists the present series in his material of consobrina in his review of the 
races of the spotted-backed antbird, and there is nothing new to be 
added to his remarks on the form. He incorrectly records 1 male and 
3 females from Salto do Hud, whereas there are two of each sex. The 
Salto do Hué and Serra Imeri females are more ochraceous below than 
any of the others, as he says, but the difference is very slight.

This bird appears to be absent from the Rio Negro itself, although 
it occurs along the Amajau, an affluent of that stream below Barcellos, 
and on the Maturaca and the Casiquiare. Zimmer (Amer. Mus. Nov. 
No. 703, 1934, p. 1) notes that birds from Peru are the same as those 
from the upper Orinoco, the Casiquiare, and the Caura in southwestern 
Venezuela, “although there is a wide gap in their distribution which 
avoids northwestern Brazil.”
