Our eleven specimens of this species are all from the Subtropical Zone of 

 the W^tern Andes. The type, however, with which they agree, appears to 

 be a 'Bogota' skin and indicates therefore that this species occurs to the 

 eastward of the Western Andes.

Our specimens together with the records of the occurrence of this species 

 indicate that it occupies the Tropical Zone of the Pacific coast south into 

 Ecuador and east through Antioquia to the Magdalena Valley (where so- 

 called Bogota specimens are doubtless secured).
