Range: Eastern Panama (known from type locality only). 



* No specimens seen by me. It is evidently closely related to V. cupreoventris. 



•^ Vestipedes mosquera bogotensis "Hartert : A very questionable subspecies, which 

 is supposed to differ in having a longer bill. Chapman considers it inseparable from 

 V. m. mosquera; cf. Bull. Am. Mus. N. H., XXXVI, 1917, p. 302. 



" Vestipedes flocus (Nelson): Plainly colored species similar to V. aureliae in 

 size and general coloration of upper parts, but differs in having under parts much 

 greener with gray borders to the feathers; abdomen whitish; left tufts pinkish buffy 

 and having a "stringy, woolly appearance." 



Note. — I have not compared specimens, but from description, this bird is very 

 close to V. aureliae caucensis Simon.
