(Tatama Mountain, western Colombia)." 



Range: Western Colombia and western Ecuador. 

 6: Ecuador (Gualea 2; "Ecuador" 4). 



* Hellmayr (I.e.) states that a specimen from Tatama Mountain, western 

 Colombia is somewhat intermediate between kingi and coelestis, but apparently 

 differs from either. He suggests that more material from that locality will probably 

 show birds from that region to constitute a distinct race.
