 rate our remaiiiing Colombian specimens, including two adult males from 

 Subia near Bogota and a series from Santa Marta, from specimens of gut- 

 turalis from Bahia and Matto Grosso.

This species appears to be far less common than the other representatives 

 of its genus taken by us in Colombia.

Specimens from the Paramo Zone of the Central Andes are slightly 

 larger than others from Pichincha and Chimborazo, Ecuador. All, however, 

 agree in color and differ from specimens from Oroya, Peru, in being smaller,

 black. Females from La Pradera, on the Bogota Savanna, and Choachi, 

 are apparently to be referred to this race.
