As correctly pointed out by Mr. Ridgway, the adnlt male differs 

 from typical 7\ semifasciata of Amazonia * by the much 

 narrower black frontal area, the posterior margin of which ends 

 in a line with the middle of the eye, instead of extending as far as 

 its posterior edge. Moreover, the black band across the inner 

 web of the outer rectrices is much broader, and reaches nearly or 

 quite to the shaft. The female is much browner on the upper 

 parts, with the pileum considerably darker. 



By the coloration of the female, and the greater extent of 

 black on the lateral recti'ices, this form approaches T. s. cosiaricensis 

 Ridgw. t from Panama and Costa Rica, which, however, is 

 smaller and has even more black in the tail. 



T. s. Columbiana ranges from Santa Marta through Western 

 Colombia to the province of Esmeraldas, N.W. Ecuador. Speci- 

 mens from the latter locality agree in every respect with the 

 Colombian ones.

The males do not appear to be different from those obtained 

 by Natterer at Manaos, N. Brazil, or from an adidt male from 



* Mr. Ridgway (Bull. U. S. Mus. no. 50, pt. iv. p. 868) gives as its range 

 "Southern Brazil and Bolivia to Central Colombia." This is not quite correct, 

 for T. s. semifasciata is strictly an Aniazoiiiau species, ranging from Part'i west to 

 the Eastern slopes of the Andes, south to E. Bolivia and W. Mattogrosso.
