COMMENTS: Zimmer cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed the specimens he examined. The following specimens are paratypes: Cerro Munchique, Coast Range west of Popayan, AMNH 110253–110255, 110257, 110259, 110260, 110262, 110265, four males, three females, one sex?; Cocal, AMNH 110266, female; Salento, AMNH 113036, male; above Salento, AMNH 113035, female; Retiro, AMNH 509056, sex?; La Florida, AMNH 110263, 110264, male, female; El Eden, AMNH 113037–113040, 113042, 113043, one male, five females; La Sierra, AMNH 117377, 117378, male, female; Santa Elena, AMNH 134400 bis, 134409, 134410, 134413, 134415, 134416, 154506, three males, three females, one sex?; Nóvita Trail, AMNH 113034, sex?; Medellin, AMNH 509454, 509055, male, female; Antioquia, AMNH 110810, sex? In three cases, the paratypes bear two AMNH numbers. They had been exchanged to the BIM and when, in November 1935, the BIM collection of birds was donated to AMNH, those specimens were renumbered. The three specimens, followed by their BIM and later AMNH nos. are: AMNH 110257 (12948, 441237), AMNH 113040 (12947, 441240), AMNH 113042 (12946, 441239). The paratypes cited here vary slightly in number from those given by Zimmer, but all of them were in AMNH when annectens was described, all are labeled annectens by Zimmer, and all are from localities cited by him.
