(1506) Capito hypoleucus Salv. 



Capito hypoleucus Salv., Bull. B. O. C, VII, 1897, p. xvi (Valdivia, Antioquia, 

 3800 ft.). 



This species, heretofore recorded only from the type-locaUty, is one of 

 the most distinct forms of the humid Cauca-Magdalena Fauna. There 

 appears to be no sexual difference in color.

(1507) Capito quinticolor Elliot. 



Capita quinticolor 'EhhioT, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris, I, 1865, p. 76, pi. iv, fig. 1 

 (New Grenada); Dalmas, Bull. Soc. Zool. France, XXV, 1900, p. 176 (El Paillon, 

 near Buenaventura); Hellmaye, P. Z. S., 1911, p. 1198 (Tad6, 230 ft.). 



A fine adult male, collected by Richardson at Barbacoas is apparently 

 the fifth known specimen of this rare species, the range of which is evidently 

 restricted to the Tropical Zone of the Pacific coast.

(1510) Capito auratus auratus (Dumont). 

 Bucco auratus Dumont, Diet. Sci. Nat., IV, 1816, p. 54 (Peru). 



Common in the forests of the Tropical Zone at the eastern base of the 

 Eastern Andes. I have seen no Peruvian specimens but Hellmayr (Nov. 

 Zool., XIV, 1907, p. 82) states that while " specimens from Eastern Ecuador 

 have, as a rule, the forehead and crown paler and less brownish .... those 

 from Bogota are exactly like the Peruvian ones.'' 



Capito auratus intermedius Berl. & Hart., to which I refer four males and 

 two females from the Cunucunuma River near Mt. Duida, may be readily 

 distinguished by its orange-margined rump, unspotted throat of the female 

 and comparative absence of spots below and brighter forehead in the male. 

 I am, however, unable to distinguish two topotypical males of " C. auran- 

 tiicinctus" Dalmas from the Caura River, Venezuela, from the four males 

 from Duida. All, except one from the Caura, show an orange tinge on the 

 abdomen and all have the rump margined with orange. If, therefore, the 

 Duida specimens truly represent intermedius, I am unable to appreciate 

 the characters of aurantiioinctus so far as the specimens at hand are con- 

 cerned.
