New World Warblers (Parulidae)
Citrine Warbler (Basileuterus luteoviridis) - HBW 15, p. 788
French: Paruline citrine
German: Bonapartewaldsänger
Spanish: Reinita Citrina
Taxonomy: Trichas luteoviridis Bonaparte, 1845, Santa Fé de Bogotá, Colombia.
Closely related to B. signatus and B. nigrocristatus. Race eophrys formerly considered a race of latter species, but closer in morphology to present species and linked to nominate race by intermediate striaticeps. Race richardsoni sometimes treated as a separate species, but linked to nominate by intermediate race quindianus. A specimen from Colombia (at 3400 m) may represent an additional, undescribed, race, apparently resembling nominate race, but may be an undescribed race of B. signatus. Five subspecies currently recognized.
