Sumichrast states that this species is found in the Gineta Mountains in Chiapas ^^ to 

 the southward of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. This is the most northern record we 

 have of this species. In Guatemala it must be a very local bird, for we only 

 once met with it when a specimen was brought to us when staying at San Geronimo, 

 3000 feet above sea-level. Yet Gould speaks of it as common in that country, whence 

 he had received many specimens. In the Eepublic of Salvador, Mr. Eichardson 

 secured a good series of skins between February and April 1891, both on the sea-coast 

 at La Liber tad, and on the slopes of the Volcan de San Miguel, a little distance in the 

 interior. It also occurs at Momotombo on the western side of the Lake of Mana<'ua, 

 and on the shores of the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Eica. This seems to be the extreme 

 limit of its southern range, for in the State of Panama we find no trace of it.
