(1514) Eubucco richardsoni granadensis {Shelley). 



Capito granadensis Shelley, Cat. Bds. B. M., XIX, 1891, p. 115, pi. v, fig. 5 

 (Bogotd). 



Found by us only at Buena Vista on the eastern slope of the Eastern 

 Andes, where it doubtless occurs as a representative of the Subtropical 

 Zone. The bluish gray nuchal band of the male appears to be narrower 

 than in E. r. richardsoni. 



Buena Vista, 4. 



(1519) Eubucco bourcieri bourcieri {Lajr.). 

 Micropogon bourcierii Lafb., Rev. Zool., 1845, p. 179 (Bogotd). 



This form appears to be restricted to the Subtropical Zone of the moun- 

 tains arising from the Magdalena Valley. Our four specimens (all males) 

 are from the head of the valley.

Capito bourcieri salvini Hellm., P. Z. S., 1911, p. 1199 (Loma Hermosa, 4150ft.; 

 Pueblo Rico, 5200 ft.). 



Char, subsp. — Similar to E. h. salvini but more richly colored and averaging 

 larger; red of throat slightly deeper and more clearly defined or more sharply con- 

 trasted with the tawny orange of the breast, this last-named color deeper and of 

 greater extent both laterally and posteriorly; flanks and abdomen appreciably 

 yellower. 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone of the Western Andes where it represents 

 E. h. salvini of the Subtropical Zone of Western Panama and Costa Rica.
