Myioborus chrysops (Salvin, 1878), subspecies elevated to species rank

Proposed English name: Colombian Redstart. Protonym: Setophaga chrysops . Type: NHMUK 1885.3.8.804 (Fig. 7). Type locality: Santa Elena, Antioquia, Colombia. Range of the species: Western and Central Andes, and the southern end of the Eastern Andes of Colombia (Páramo de Miraflores between Huila and Caquetá) south to the Colombian Massif in southern Cauca. Monotypic. Myioborus chrysops is the species hybridizing with M. bairdi in extreme southern Colombia and northern Ecuador.

A specimen (NML-VZ D1932, Fig. 6C) with a red label and marked as “ type ” for flaveola (not of Lafresnaye 1844, but one cited by Kaup, 1851) is not a proper name-bearing type. It corresponds to an adult M. chrysops that was identified by Kaup (1851) as flaveola, and collected by De Lattre at Puracé (Cauca, Colombia).
