Abstract: We report here a documented record of the White-bellied Hummingbird Amazilia chionogaster Tschudi, 1845 for Corumbiara, Rondônia state, western Brazil. This is the fourth locality where this species had been recorded with physical evidence in Brazil. The site of our record is more than 600 km east of the Andean sites where A. chionogaster has been previously recorded. Our record of A. chionogaster is the first from Rondônia state. This study suggests that this species has an extensive range in South America.

First record of Augastes lumachella (Lesson, 1838) (Trochilidae) from the highest peak in northeastern Brazil https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/38742/ Check List 15(5): 899-903

DOI: 10.15560/15.5.899

Authors: Ricardo Pacífico, Frank Almeda

Abstract: This study records a new locality and elevational record for the Near Threatened Hooded Visorbearer, Augastes lumachella (Lesson, 1838). The record was made at the highest peak in northeastern Brazil, Pico do Barbado, near Catolés within the municipality of Abaíra (Bahia). Our record increases the elevational range of A. lumachella by about 400 m and shows that this species was capable of taking refuge at higher elevations during interglacial periods, as the Pico do Barbado is the highest locality in its entire distributional range.

First record of the cf. Rufous-crested Coquette, Lophornis cf. delattrei (Aves, Trochilidae), from Brazil https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/21526/ Check List 14(1): 121-124

DOI: 10.15560/14.1.121

Authors: Ricardo Antônio de Andrade Plácido, Leide Fernanda Almeida Fernandes, Roseanne de Fátima Ramos Almeida, Edson Guilherme

Abstract: The Rufous-crested Coquette, Lophornis delattrei (Lesson, 1839), and the Spangled Coquette, Lophornis stictolophus Salvin & Elliot, 1873, are 2 very similar species with a green back and orange forehead. On 9 August 2017, a hummingbird with an orange forehead was observed and photographed in the Serra do Divisor (Acre, Brazil). Analysis of the photographs revealed that the individual presented the diagnostic characteristics of a female of the Lophornis delattrei/stictolophus group. We assumed that the observed specimen represented Lophornis cf. delattrei, given the greater proximity of the geographic range of this species to the new locality. The presence of this Lophornis in Acre represents the occurrence of a new hummingbird taxon for Brazil.

First documented record of Amazilia tzacatl (de la Llave, 1893) (Aves, Trochilidae) in the Colombian Orinoco region and comments of its distribution at the eastern Andes https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/23360/ Check List 14(1): 87-91

DOI: 10.15560/14.1.87

Authors: Orlando Acevedo-Charry, Orlando E. Acevedo-S., Sonia I. Charry B.

Abstract: Land use change and anthropic colonization influence forest degradation and biodiversity turnover. We present the first documented record of the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird, Amazilia tzacatl, for the eastern slope of the Andes-Orinoco region of Colombia. This hummingbird is widely known as a “non-forest” species in lowlands in the west of the Andes. We discuss recent observations in the eastern Andes. These records could be associated with land use change and deforestation fronts through the Andes.
