' Originally described from Pard, but the correctness of this locality was doubted 

 by Sclater, who suggested substituting "Upper Amazonia" (cf. Mon. Jacamars and 

 Puff-birds, 1880, p. 6). However, specimens have been taken near Pard and Hellmayr 

 considers the change undesirable (cf. Nov. Zool., XIV, 1907, p. 27).
