^Simonula berlepschi (Salvin): Similar to A. f. floriceps, but ends of 

 lateral rectrices largely white (not tawny) ; abdomen and under tail coverts grayish 

 (not rufescent) ("Apicibus remigum lateralium" in original description. I.e., later 

 changed to "apicibus rectricum lateralium" in Ibis, I.e.). 



" Chapman (I.e.) suggests that this form may be found to be restricted to the 

 central Andes.
