(
Figs. 37, 38
)
Corades enyo enyo
Hewitson, [1849]
: 115.
Lectotype
(male) in BMNH, designated by
Viloria & Camacho, 1999
: 176
[examined].
Corades auriga
Herrich-Schäffer
, [1856]: figs. 82, 83.
Geographic range:
Species: CC, ST, CM, throughout
Colombia
,
Ecuador
, north-western and eastern
Peru
,
Bolivia
; Subspecies: CC, ST.
Altitudinal range:
2000–2200 m
(
Krüger, 1925
);
1400–2200 m
(
Adams & Bernard, 1977
);
1270–1900 m
(
Raguso & Gloster, 1993
);
1300–2400 m
(Pyrcz, 1999);
1400–2300 m
.
Remarks:
Polytypic; several subspecies are as yet to be described (Pyrcz, MS). Easily identified by five orange FWD patches, and russet ground color.
C. enyo
is common in the surveyed area of the Cordillera de La Costa, frequently observed perching and patrolling along forest trails and in light gaps. Contrary to other congeners, it often penetrates into secondary bushes and open areas (
Viloria & Camacho, 1999
).
Corades auriga
Herrich-Schäffer
is considered junior synonym of
Corades enyo
based on the comparison of original figures of the former with the
lectotype
of the latter taxon.
