New World Warblers (Parulidae)
Olive-crowned Yellowthroat (Geothlypis semiflava) - HBW 15, p. 772
French: Paruline des bambous
German: Olivscheitel-Gelbkehlchen
Spanish: Mascarita Coronioliva
Taxonomy: Geothlypis semiflava P. L. Sclater, 1860, Babahoyo, Ecuador.
Not obviously closely related to any other member of genus. In one study found to be very similar genetically to Oporornis formosus; the two are similar also in plumage, and has been suggested that they may form a link between the two genera (which are sometimes merged). Races widely separated geographically, and may be better treated as two species, with G. aequinoctialis chiriquensis apparently another close relation. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- bairdi Ridgway, 1884 - E Honduras S, mainly on Caribbean slope, to NW Panama.
- semiflava P. L. Sclater, 1860 - Pacific slope of W Colombia and W Ecuador.
