ssp.
ploas
Thieme (
Pyrcz & Wojtusiak, 2002
); 1600–2400 ssp.
condorita
Lamas (Pyrcz, 2004)
;
1800–2200 m
.
Remarks:
Polytypic and nearly as widespread as
C. enyo
.
C. pannonia
is identified by a uniform dorsum, and HWV crossed by a straight oblique yellow band. Males perch and keep territories, usually in the subcanopy and frequently come to feed on the ground on decomposing organic matter. In some Andean localities
C. pannonia
is found down to
1600 m
, but it occurs only above
1800 m
in the surveyed areas of the CC.
Corades ichthya
Herrich-Schäffer
is considered junior synonym of
Corades pannonia
based on the comparison of original figures of the former with the
types
of the latter taxon.
