Remarks
Citron-throated Toucan Ramphastos citreolaemus is split from largely allopatric Channel-billed Toucan R. vitellinus (e.g. Hilty 2003). But the two taxa reportedly hybridize in w Venezuela in the Maracaibo basin (Haffer 1974) and conspecific treatment is suggested by limited phylogenetic analyses (Patané et al. 2009; Ostrow et al. 2023).
