CORYPHOTRICCUS PARVUS PARVUS (Pelzeln): Lesser Yellow-crowned Flycatcher 
Pitangus parvus PrvzELn, Zur Ornithologie Brasiliens, pt. 2, 1868, pp. 111, 182 
(Marabitanas, Rio Negro). 
SPECIMEN COLLECTED 
lim. 9, Venezuela, Cerro Yapacana, Upper Orinoco, March 29, 1931. 
As far as I have been able to learn, this is the first specimen of this 
flycatcher recorded from Venezuela. It is slightly darker on the back 
than an adult female from British Guiana, which it otherwise resembles,

These specimens are not typical rufipennis but are intermediate 
between it and true cayanensis. They seem, however, to be slightly 
closer to rufipennis and are therefore considered as variants of this 
race. The immature bird has no coronal patch and has the edges of 
the outer upper wing coverts as rufescent as in an adult rufipennis from 
northern Venezuela (Ocumare de la Costa), while the adults have 
practically no rufescent tinge on the margins of these feathers. Geo- 
graphically, as well as in coloration, these birds are intermediate 
between the two races. Typical cayanensis has been recorded from 
the Rio Branco (Boa Vista), not very far to the east, and rufipennis 
is stated by Hellmayr (Catalogue of the birds of the Americas, pt. 5, 
1927, p. 139) to occur from the north coast of Venezuela south to the 
Orinoco Valley. Gilliard (Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., vol. 77, 1941, 
p. 486) records cayanensis from southern Venezuela, farther to the 
east (Rio Guarapiche, Mount Auydn-tepui, and Mount Roraima).
