Common in the higher parts of the Subtropical Zone of all three ranges, 

 less frequent in the Temperate Zone.

(4041) Diglossa personata {Eraser). 



Agrilorhinus personatus Fkaser, P. Z. S., 1840, p. 23 (Bogotd). 



Diglossa personata ScL. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 496 (Retire; Sta. Elena). 



Common in the Temperate and upper part of the Subtropical Zones, but 

 rare below 8000 feet. There is much range in the intensity of color due to 

 individual, not sexual, variation. Western Colombia birds may average 

 slightly darker but do not appreciably differ from topotypical (Bogota) 

 specimens.

(4043) Diglossa cryptorhis Chaprn. 



Dighssa cryptorhis Chapm., BuU. A. M. N. H., XXXI, 1912, p. 164 (GaUera, Col.). 



Char. sp. — Most closely related to Diglossa indigotica Scl. of Ecuador, but nostrils 

 more concealed, plumage of a different texture, firmer, more glossy and of a brighter 

 color; tail shorter. 



An apparently rare species of the Subtropical Zone of the Western 

 Andes.

(4045) Diglossopis cserulescens ceerulescens Scl. 



Diglossa ccerulescens Scl., Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., 1856 (2), p. 467 (Caracas, 

 Venezuela); Wtatt, Ibis, 1871, p. 324 (Portreras; between Ocana and Bucara- 

 manga); Scl. & Saly., P. Z. S,, 1879, p. 496 (Sta. Elena). 



Diglossopis ccerulescens ccerulescens Hellm., P. Z. S., 1911, p. 1093 (Tatamd Mt., 

 2794 ft.). 



This species has much the same zonal distribution as Diglossa personata 

 but appears to be less common. Our seven Colombian specimens agree 

 with five from Merida, Venezuela, and show no approach toward D. c. 

 pallida of Peru.
