Dashed line delimits the Colombian Andes above 1000 m elevation. Right: Generalized distribution of Ara militaris (hatched areas) and Ara ambigua (solid areas). 1 a Ara militaris mexicana. 1 b A. m. militaris. 1 c A. m. boliviana. 2 a A. a. ambigua. 2 b A. a. guayaquilensis. Both species are mostly green or yellowish green with a red or scarlet forehead, blue wings and orange red central tail feathers which are tipped with blue. along a potential contact zone or whether they remain parapatric as a result of ecologic competition. Since their ecologic requirements differ to some extent (see below), they may not actually meet anywhere in northern Colombia. The Green Macaws, Ara militaris superspecies, are widespread but of local occurrence. They have disappeared from large areas due to human activity and are now confined to the more remote forest districts. Ara ambigua inhabits humid lowland forests and lower montane forests in western Ecuador (A. a. guayaquilensis; Chapman 1926) and in north- western Colombia to Nicaragua probably also ranging into Honduras (A. a. ambigua; Monroe 1968, De Schauensee 1970). A. militaris occupies a wide. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - colo
