In studying the present series the other races of the species were 
gone over as well. The arrangement given by Hellmayr (Catalogue 
of the birds of the Americas, pt. 7, 1934, pp. 366-373) was found to 
hold except for two items. The race minusculus Bangs was found to 
be not valid (thereby agreeing with the results arrived at by Todd, 
Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 44, 1931, p. 49) and was “lumped” 
with the present race; and the range of phaeopygoides Seebohm was 
found to include the ‘District Federal’ of northern Venezuela as well 
as the areas mentioned by Hellmayr. A number of birds from the 
Lower Orinoco (without more explicit localities) were likewise found 
to fit the characters of phaeopygoides. Todd’s race cayennensis was 
upheld, but the material seen was scant; no material of coloratus or of 
contemptus Hellmayr was available.
