Maryarornis perlata Scl. Cat. Birds, xv. p. 121. 
Three males and tliree females from Pichincha, West 
Ecuador, and a similar series from Papallacta, East Ecuador, 
at altitudes above 11,000 feet, "where we found them 
frequenting the scanty bushes growing in the more sheltered 
'^ quebradas^^ or volcanic rents on the bleak mountain-sides. 
The bushes are thickly covered with moss, among which 
these birds hunt for their insect-prey. Those from the 
Eastern Andes appear to have slightly longer tails.

Margarornis guttata Scl, Cat. Birds, xv. p. 123. 
One male from Pichincha, and a male and female from 
Papallacta. The two last-named specimens vary somewhat 
from the western by being more reddish brown about the 
lower part of the breast and vent; the throat is lighter, of a

M. perlata, this bird frequents the weather-beaten moss- 
covered trees in the '^ quebradas.''^
