Abstract

SALAZAR, Sonia; MENA, José Luis; LANE, Daniel F  and  WITT, Christopher C. Status and distribution in Peru of the Black-Billed Mountain-Toucan Andigena nigrirostris (Waterhouse, 1839). Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.1, pp.55-58. ISSN 1727-9933.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rpb.v24i1.13106.

In Peru Andigena nigrirostris is considered hypothetical due to the absence of published records. To date ten specimens have been collected and two sound records and a photograph of a free-flying individual have been obtained. The latter record was from a protected area in Peru, the Santuario Nacional Tabaconas Namballe. Records indicate that this species is distributed in the montane forests of the eastern slope, north of the Huancabamba depression, between ~ 2200 a 2900 m elevation.

Keywords : Ramphastidae; endemism; Montane Forests; Northern Andes; Cajamarca.
