So far as my material goes, therefore, it gives no reason for the recognition 

 of a Bogota, form. A female from La Frijolera, on the western slope of the 

 Central Andes, near the northern limit of the range, is decidedly greener, less 

 bronzy than others from La Candela. The culmen measures 22 mm.
