Kevin Zimmer has submitted a proposal (#430, Apr 2010) to AOU-SACC to split Trogon ramonianus 'Amazonian Trogon' (incl ssp crissalis) from T violaceus (as suggested, eg, in Monroe & Sibley 1993):

Thanks Richard.
It is unclear to me what the actual ranges are of subspecies ''crissalis'', ''ramonianus'', and ''violaceus''?

thanks

Collar 2001 (HBW6) gives:

• violaceus - E Venezuela, the Guianas and adjacent N Brazil; Trinidad.
• ramonianus - Amazonian areas of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil; also penetrates S Venezuela (upper R Orinoco).
• crissalis - NE Brazil on S bank of lower R Amazon and tributaries (E of R Tapajós).
