This form appears to be restricted to the Cauca Valley. Occupying 

 a region in which the humidity more nearly resembles that of Trinidad and 

 the Guianas than it does that of the arid coastal zone of northern South 

 America, the characters of caiicensis in a degree parallel the resemblance 

 in climatic conditions existing between the Cauca Valley and northeastern 

 South America.

A female taken at Chicoral in the upper Magdalena Valley, October 11, 

 is apparently typical of this species. It is interesting to note that Myiody- 

 nastes maculatus nobilis was also taken at Chicoral on October 11.
