(1503) Capito aurovirens (Cuv.)! 

 Bucco aurovirens Cuv., Regne Anim., I, 1829, p. 458 (Peru). 



Three males and three females from La Morelia agree with Ecuador 

 examples and add this species to the known fauna of Colombia.

(1504a) Capito maculicoronatus rubrilateralis Chapm.

Capito maculicoronatus Sol. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 537 (Remedios; Neoh6);

Char, subsp. — Similar to C. m. maculicoronatus Lawr., but, larger, bill stouter, 

 side-patch mainly vermilion rather than mainly orange; crown averaging whiter; 

 male with pectoral band wider; flanks, in male, more heavily marked with black. 



Inhabits the Tropical Zone of the Pacific coast at least as far south as 

 Buenaventura and, at the north, extends eastward through this zone east 

 of the Atrato to Magdalena drainage at Remedios. Specimens from Puerto 

 Valdivia havS less black on the sides and flanks than in typical ruhrila- 

 teralis, and are therefore more like pirrensis in color, but in general size they 

 agree with rubrilateralis. 



Two females from Rio Salaqui have the side-patch mainly vermilion 

 rather than mainly orange and thus resemble rubrilateralis in color, but in 

 measurements they agree with maculicoronatus and are thus intermediate 

 between the two. They should be referred to pirrensis Nels.

 p. 1 (Cana, 1800 ft., e. Panama). 



The fact that two females of this species from Salaqui, are to be referred 

 to this form rather than to the one which occurs at the head of the Atrato,
