We describe Cistothorus apolinari hernandezi, subsp. nov. from wet páramo of the
Sumapaz massif south of Bogotá, Colombia. This form differs from the nominate of
the wetlands of the Cundinamarca-Boyacá Plateau in size, coloration, ecology, social
structure and song and appears to be isolated from it by some 1000 m of elevation
and different habitat preferences. A second population apparently occurs some 300
km further northeast in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy in Dept. Boyacá but no data
exist for intervening páramos. As a species, C. apolinari is critically endangered
but the wetland and páramo populations face different threats and require different
conservation strategies; distinguishing the latter population formally helps call
attention to this situation.
