 This bird seems to range over nearly the whole of Costa Rica, having 

 been taken on the Caribbean slope from 1,000 feet up to 3,000 feet, in

 that region being rather too dry, with no humid forests. It is however 

 very abundant in the Terraba Valley, in fact the only species of Tangara 

 which is at all common, but on the Caribbean side it is the least abundant 

 of all.
