(1374) Cyanolesbia emmse Berl. 



Cyanolesbia emmce Berl., Journ. fiir Orn., 1892, p. 452 (Bogota and Antioquia =

 Cyanthm mocoa Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 529 (Sta. Elena). 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone of the Western Andes and at least the 

 northern end (both slopes) of the Central Andes. In the Western Andes its 

 range appears to coincide with that of C. coelestis. We have specimens of 

 emmoe from Gallera and of coelestis from the nearby Cerro Munchique. 



Our large series of emmw shows little individual variation and no indi- 

 cation of intergradation with other forms. In the Merida region emmoe 

 is represented by C. caudata from which, however, it appears to be specifically 

 distinct.

(1375) Cyanolesbia mocoa mocoa {Delatt. & Bourc). 



Trochilus mocoa Delatt. & Bourc, Rev. Zool., Sept. 1846, p. 311 (Mocoa, Col.). 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone of the slopes of the Central and Eastern 

 Andes, arising from the upper Magdalena Valley and southward along the 

 Eastern Andes through Ecuador probably to northern Peru. 



The localities at which our twenty-three specimens of this bird were 

 taken have a close faunal affinity, indeed almost identity, with the region in 

 the same zone about the city of Bogota (Fusugasuga; El Roble, etc.). 

 Nevertheless our specimens indicate that mocoa and kingi do not intergrade. 



Specimens from "Ambato" (= e. Ecuador) are referable to mocoa. 

 Of the shorter-tailed, blue-throated smaragdina we have four specimens 

 from Incachaca in the Subtropical Zone of the Cochabamban Yungas, 

 Bolivia.

(1379) Cyanolesbia coelestis {Gould). 



Cyanthus coelestis Gould, Introd. Troohil., 1861, p. 102 (Ecuador). 



Cyanolesbia kingi subsp. Hbllm., P. Z. S., 1911, p. 1187 (Tatamd Mt., 4600 ft.). 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone of the Western Andes, and southward into 

 western Ecuador, where it evidently represents C. kingi. Males and 

 females from southwestern Colombia agree with Ecuador specimens; 

 but males from Novita Trail and TatamS Mt. (ef. Hellm., I. c.) in their
