The same applies to records from Merida, Venezuela (, SMF 80554; see also Hartert 1900), this place representing most likely another commercial trading place, while specimens actually came from the trans-Andean lowlands. In the south-west of the taxon's range, no confirmation (but see Weller 1999) exists for Peru since Zimmer (1950) questioned a record from Iquitos, uppermost Rio Amazon, mentioned by Simon (1910).

In the south-west of the taxon's range, no confirmation (but see Weller 1999) exists for Peru since Zimmer (1950) questioned a record from Iquitos, uppermost Rio Amazon, mentioned by Simon (1910). Unfortunately, the latter provided no further comments on this locality and later even excluded Peru from the range of milleri (Simon 1921). Other authors such as Taczanowski (1884), Hartert (1900), Peters (1945) and, more recently, Parker et al. (1982) and Ruschi (1986) did not mention a Peruvian record of A. versicolor. There is, however, a confirmed record of A. v. milleri from Iquitos. This is based on an apparently overlooked specimen deposited in the bird collection of the Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Frankfurt/Main (SMF 80523). According to the original label, it was obtained in August 1885 by H. v. Berlepsch and collected in " (= northeastern) Peru: Yquitos, Amaz. ; on 6 (?) May 1878 by H. Whitely. Since Hellmayr (1910) and Stephens & Traylor (1983) indicated that Whitely conducted field work in the Iquitos region between April and September 1878, little doubts exist about the origin of this specimen. Hence Iquitos (Loreto, 106 m, 03°46'S, 82° 78 50 °W 12°N. Figure 1. Distribution of Agyrtria versicolor milleri, based on examined specimens.
