Inhabits the Tropical Zone of the Pacific coast, the eastern slope of the 

 Western Andes and west slope of the Central Andes. Fifteen specimens 

 (6 males, 9 females) from this region agree with eight (6 males, 2 females) 

 from Ecuador. Hellmayr {I. c.) has already alluded to this resemblance 

 between western Colombia and western Ecuador birds. I am, however, 

 unable to separate them from true fulviventris of which I have seen seven 

 (3 males, 4 females) Panama specimens, including the type.

Our four specimens were taken at Buena Vista at the upper limit of
