Aves, Apodiformes, Trochilidae, Topaza pella (Linnaeus, 1758): A range reinforcement in Amazonian Brazil

Abstract

We present new distribution records for Topaza pella (Linnaeus, 1758) in the southern reaches of the Amazon Basin in Brazil. The two new localities presented for the species elucidate its range in southern Pará and northern Mato Grosso states, and in consideration of recent records elsewhere south of the Amazon River, suggest that the species is widely distributed across suitable habitat throughout the Brazilian Amazon. © 2010 Check List and Authors.
