Goldman in size, they are nearer americana in color; the males have the 

 breast-patch deeper and more extended anteriorly, the females have the 

 breast-band more.solid, less broken than in isthmica. From C. a. cabanisi, 

 of which I have only one specimen, a female from Lima in the Brewster- 

 Sanford Collection, the Colombian birds differ in their smaller size, smaller 

 bill and more buffy anterior underparts.

Doubtless of local distribution throughout the Tropical Zone though our 

 specimens come only from the Pacific coast.

 Prionites martii Spix, Av. Bras., II, 1825, p. 64, pi. 60 (in sylvis Parse). 



To this form, of which I have seen no authentic specimens, I refer five 

 specimens from La Morelia and Florencia. They differ from semirufa in 

 having the greenish abdominal area usually more restricted and with less 

 of a bluish tinge, but mainly in the absence of the racket-shaped tips to the 

 central tail-feathers.

Occurs throughout the humid Tropical Zone west of the Eastern Andes. 

 It is doubtful if the type came from Santa Marta which is in the arid or 

 semi-arid Tropical Zone. Recent collectors have not found it there.
