Found in the Temperate Zone and upper part of the Subtropical on all 

 three ranges. A female from Cerro Munchique on the Western Andes has 

 the bill 88 mm. in length and possibly should be referred to E. e. schliephackei 

 of Ecuador, provided this form be worthy of recognition (cf. Oberh., Proc. 

 U. S. N. M., 1902, p. 327).

A species of the Temperate Zone occurring in all three ranges. Judging 

 from locality alone, our specimens should be referred to A. c. cequatorialis 

 (Cab. & Hein.) but .comparison of topotypical ('Bogota') specimens of 

 cupripennis with topotypical (Mt. Chimborazo) specimens of OBquatorialis 

 reveals no differences in color, and but a slight average difference in the 

 length of the bill and, in my opinion, the proposed Ecuadorian race is not 

 worthy of recognition. I have seen no specimens from Peru.
