Taxonomy: Platyrhynchus flavigularis P. L. Sclater, 1862, Nova Granada, “Bogotá” = Albán, Cundinamarca, Colombia.
Relationships within genus unclear, pending completion of major genetic study. Distribution apparently very patchy but little known, and degree of disjunction uncertain; further work required in order to confirm true taxonomic status of races. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- vividus Phelps, Sr & Phelps, Jr, 1952 - W Venezuela (Sierra de Períja, Andes of SE Lara and SE Táchira; probably also coastal cordillera in SE Carabobo).
