No geographical variation has been documented (Weller 1998). S. cyanifrons ranges from 400 to 3,000 m, with the main concentration between 1,000 and 2,000 m. It inhabits edges of wet forest as well as drier, more open habitats with shrubs, plantations, and gardens (Hilty & Brown 1986) where it forages in vegetation at medium to higher level between 4-8 m (Schuchmann, pers. obs.). Otherwise, ecological requirements are poorly known ( Munves 1975, Snow & Snow 1980). Distribution and taxonomy of Saucerottia saucerrottei S. saucerrottei (Delattre & Bourcier, 1846) occurs in several subspecies from northwestern South America to Central America (Fig. 1). Generally bound to drier Caribbean Sea.
