This is the rarest of the Costa Rican species of Tangara, being found 

 (thus far) only on the Caribbean lowlands of the northeastern section of 

 the country, from the Reventazon River north to Nicaragua, just at the 

 edge of the foot-hills and at an altitude of from 500 to 1,500 feet. The 

 birds which I secured were taken in the rather open forest, feeding in the 

 tops of the trees, and as far as I could tell were alone, not more than one 

 bird having been taken or seen at the same spot. In this respect it 

 is very different from all others of the genus, the others being decidedly 

 gregarious.
