Miller collected three specimens of this species at La Candela in the 

 Central Andes at the head of the Magdalena River. We have also a Co- 

 lombian specimen from the Choco and one from Bonda, Santa Marta, 

 while from Ecuador we have one from Gualea and three from Naranjo. 

 The latter are essentially topotypical of Penelope wquatorialis Salvad. & 

 Fest., but beyond being somewhat smaller, I am unable to see that they 

 difFer materially from twelve Panama specimens of cristata, including eight 

 examples from Darien. 



Salvadori and Festa describe wquatorialis as having the scapulars and 

 wings olive-green rather than copper, as in cristata. But since cristata also 

 has the wings externally olive-green rather than copper, it seems probable 

 that the specimens of 'cristata' used in comparison were not typical. 



The character of coppery wings is, however, strongly shown by Penelope 

 perspicax Bangs, of western Colombia, a bird which appears to be speci- 

 fically distinct from cristata.
