"According to Chapman (/. c.) a male from Algodonal (which is probably typical 

 of this species) is much less deeply colored than specimens from Panama and he 

 suggests that the Panama birds may prove to be a different race. 



*> It is improbable that this species occurs in eastern Colombia. I, therefore, 

 suggest the region of Frontino, state of Antioquia, Colombia for the type locality.
