(Figs. 37, 38)
Corades enyo enyo Hewitson, [1849]: 115. Lectotype (male) in BMNH, designated by Viloria & Camacho, 1999: 176 [examined].
Corades auriga Herrich-Schäffer, [1856]: figs. 82, 83.
Geographic range: Species: CC, ST, CM, throughout Colombia, Ecuador, north-western and eastern Peru, Bolivia; Subspecies: CC, ST.
Altitudinal range: 2000–2200 m (Krüger, 1925); 1400–2200 m (Adams & Bernard, 1977); 1270–1900 m (Raguso & Gloster, 1993); 1300–2400 m (Pyrcz, 1999); 1400–2300 m.
Remarks: Polytypic; several subspecies are as yet to be described (Pyrcz, MS). Easily identified by five orange FWD patches, and russet ground color. C. enyo is common in the surveyed area of the Cordillera de La Costa, frequently observed perching and patrolling along forest trails and in light gaps. Contrary to other congeners, it often penetrates into secondary bushes and open areas (Viloria & Camacho, 1999). Corades auriga Herrich-Schäffer is considered junior synonym of Corades enyo based on the comparison of original figures of the former with the lectotype of the latter taxon.
