yessupi (Carriker, 1930) - Eastern and central Peru (southern from central Loreto) and immediately adjacent western Brazil.
berlepschi (Hellmayr, 1903) - Southern Amazonian Brazil from upper R Pur�s north-east to Par� (between lower R Xing� and lower R Tapaj�s), south-west to south-eastern Peru, north-central Bolivia and northern Mato Grosso.
