(4191) Tangara gyroloides catharinsB (Hellm.). 



C[alospiza] gyroloides catharince Hellm., P. Z. S., 1911, p. 1106 (Chaquimayo 

 Carabaya, alt. 3000 ft., s. e. Peru). 



This form, characterized by its small bill, comparatively wide yellow 

 nuchal collar and shoulder-patch was found on the eastern slope of the East- 

 ern Andes. It has been recorded from the Rio Meta but I am inclined to 

 believe that these specimens may have come from the east Andean slopes.

(4192) Tangara gyroloides bangsi (Hellm.). 

 C[alospiza] gyroloides bangsi Hellm., P. Z. S., 1911, p. 1105 (Boquete, CKiriqui). 



Three specimens from Ricaurte (alt. 5000 ft.) in southwestern Colombia 

 agree with topotypical examples of bangsi from Chiriqui. We have also 

 ten specimens of this race from sea-level at Esmeraldas, and Rio d'Oro, 

 Ecuador. 



Mr. Hellmayr has called attention to the apparent hiatus in the range of 

 this form, no examples of which appear to have been taken between those 

 here recorded and Panama, whence we have a McLeannan specimen without 

 exact locality. He suggests that gyroloides " is most probably confined to the 

 high open country of the interior," and that bangsi will be found in the 

 Colombian coast district. Hellmayr, however, records true gyroloides from 

 the Tropical Zone on the Pacific coast (Jimenez, 1600 ft.) and the case, in 

 my opinion, simply adds another species to the list of those occurring in 

 southwestern Colombia, Ecuador and Panama, but which are unknown on 

 the Colombian coast north of the Patia River.

 northward to eastern Panama, whence we have three specimens in addition 

 to those listed below.
