Dacnis egregia Scl., P. Z. S., 1854, p. 251 (New Grenada); Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 

 1879, p. 497 (Remedios; Nech6). 



Found only in the Tropical Zone of the Magdalena Valley. The Ecua- 

 dorian form, D. e. oBquatorialis, averages slightly greener and the yellow areas 

 are somewhat richer. The range of these forms appears to be interrupted, 

 no connection apparently existing between the Colombian and Ecuadorian 

 birds.

Dacnis venusta Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 497 (Remedios). 



Inhabits the Tropical Zone of the Pacific coast and eastward through 

 Antioquia to the Magdalena Valley. Males from Puerto Valdivia and 

 Bagado have an evident greenish tinge below, and thus approach true 

 venusta with the type of which they have been compared.
