Abstract

GAUTO COLMAN, P et al. FIRST DOCUMENTED RECORD OF VERSICOLORED EMERALD (Amazilia versicolor) IN THE CENTRAL DEPARTMENT OF THE PARAGUAYAN REPUBLIC. Compend. cienc. vet [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.1, pp.42-45. ISSN 2226-1761.  https://doi.org/10.18004/compend.cienc.vet.2019.09.01.42-45.

This is the first documented register of a Versicolored Emerald (Amazilia versicolor) in the Central Department, Paraguay, in 2018. There was a written register from the year 1920, but without photographic evidence. The observation was made on May 30th, 2018, with an adult being photographed and filmed at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of the National University of Asunción. This finding took place at approximately 95 km west from the species´ known distribution, which probably makes the observed individual an accidental visitor.
