Abstract

We report new upper elevational extremes for Green-fronted Lancebill (Doryfera ludovicae), Round-tailed Manakin (Pipra chloromeros), Andean Cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola peruviana), Barred Fruiteater (Pipreola arcuata), and Rufous-tailed Flatbill (Ramphotrigon ruficauda) and new lower elevational extremes for Swallow-tailed Nightjar (Uropsalis segmentata) and Scarlet bellied Mountain-Tanager (Anisognathus igniventris). The elevations reported here deviate from the known elevational ranges by up to 820 m elevation. All observations are from the Manú biosphere reserve in south-east Peru.
