condor is the common name for two species of new world vultures , each in a monotypic genus .

the name derives from the quechua kuntur .

they are the largest flying land birds in the western hemisphere .

they are : the andean condor ( vultur gryphus ) which inhabits the andean mountains .

the california condor ( gymnogyps californianus ) currently restricted to the western coastal mountains of the united states and mexico and the northern desert mountains of arizona in the united states .

the andean condor is considered threatened but is in far better shape than its california cousin . reintroduction programs are working to grow populations of these south american birds .

the andean condor ranges across the andes , in venezuela , colombia , ecuador , peru , bolivia and paraguay , south to argentina and chile ( 10 ) .

what’s in a name ? the name “condor” comes from cuntur , which originated from the inca name for the andean condor . their scientific name , gymnogyps californianus , comes from the greek words gymnos , meaning naked , and refers to the head , and gyps meaning vulture ; californianus is latin and refers to the birds’ range .

the andean condor played an important role in inca mythology . today the yawar fiesta which dates back from the time of the spanish conquest in the 1500s is celebrated in regions of the andes . during this celebration a condor , representing the indians , is tied to the back of a bull , which represents the spaniards . the condor attacks the bull with its beak while the bull tries to desperately get rid of it . young men chase the animal trying to show courage to their communities .

gymno comes from the greek word for bare or naked ( referring to the " bald " head of the condor ) . gyps is the greek word for vulture .

two anthropogenic factors , lead poisoning and shooting , have contributed disproportionately to the decline of the species in last 100 years . although publicity associated with the condor recovery program has reduced the likelihood of condors being shot , one person was arrested as recently as 2004 for shooting a california condor . high lead levels , primarily obtained from the ingestion of fragments of lead bullets and shot remains a pervasive problem throughout the historical foraging range of the california condor . for more information , please see lead exposure .

postures of displaying california condors are very similar to those described for andean condors . however , if published photographs are representative , the andean condor holds its body more nearly vertical than does the california condor , and does not bend its neck as far forward ( whitson and whitson 1969 , fig . 1 ; gailey and bolwig 1973 , figs . . 1c , 1e , 5 ) . gailey and bolwig ( 1973 , fig . 1d ) showed a female andean condor with head and neck bent far downward and inward , but its wings were held almost fully open as in the " sunning " position . among the pictures of displaying andean condors , one of a male bird in poulsen ( 1963 , fig . 4 ) most closely resembles the posture of the california condor .

everything reported above is in full agreement with koford ( 1953 : 77 - 80 ) . he assumed that only the male california condor actively displays , and i never saw anything to indicate otherwise . i was never close enough to displaying condors to know if their courtship is accompanied by hissing or other sounds , as is that of the andean condor ( whitson and whitson 1969 , gailey and bolwig 1973 ) .

the california condor is the largest land bird in north america , and once dominated the western skies . sadly , the species declined throughout much of the 20th century until only drastic measures saved it from extinction .

behaviour : andean condor feeds on carcasses and it is mainly a scavenger , feeding on dead animals . this large condor is able to tear muscles and viscera through the skin of the largest carcasses . around the carcasses , when they are feeding with other vultures’ species , there are some ritual displays in order to recognize the dominant birds , and conflicts are avoided or quickly resolved . usually , the largest species are dominant .

reproduction : andean condor male performs courtship displays , by standing erect with opened wings , and producing some clicking noises with the tongue . at this moment , the bare skin of the neck turns bright yellow . breeding season occurs from february to june in peru and in september - october in chile . andean condor does not build any structure . it nests on the bare ground of cliff - ledges or in shallow caves .

at carcasses , california condors dominate other scavengers . the exception is when a golden eagle is present . although the condor weighs about twice as much as an eagle , the superior talons of the eagle command respect .

starving fledgling wanders into an area of summer homes . after unsuccessful reintroduction attempt , bird is given to the l . a . zoo . this bird ( topatopa ) was only california condor in captivity for 15 years .

andean condors have been extremely important as a cultural symbol in the andes mountains of south america for thousands of years . in the ancient inca culture of peru the condor represents one of the three realms of existence , the heavens ; while the jaguar represents the earth and the snake the underworld . these three cultural references appear all over inca society , including in their architecture . the site of machu picchu , which was a royal vacation home , is built in the shape of a condor if viewed from the top of a nearby mountain . there is also a massive stone altar in the site that is shaped like a huge condor with wings spread high .

we designed condor to give pilots the complete experience of soaring on their pc . the key to this experience is the feeling of immersion in the environment . precise aerodynamics and weather physics drive the ongoing development . the condor simulator with state of the art graphics , real time control feedback , and cockpit sounds immerses you , the pilot , in the experience and is the closest you can come to flying a glider without ever leaving the ground .

at 1105 five adult condors and several ravens were at the carcass , but only one condor was actively feeding . another condor ( from general appearance , probably the " male " from the earlier courtship ) displayed to the feeding bird , then walked around the carcass , displaying to the group collectively . none of the condors responded to the displaying bird . courtship activity ceased after several minutes when two golden eagles flushed the condors and ravens from the carcass .

california condor : very large raptor with black body , bare - skinned red - orange head , and white wing patches . sexes are similar . juvenile has gray - skinned head and dull gray wing patches . exceptionally rare bird .

poulsen ( 1963 ) noted that an andean condor may display when not in the presence of other condors . on 2 february 1973 , john c . borneman and i observed an adult california condor roosting alone on a rock cliff . it sat quietly through the morning hours , preening occasionally . at 1205 it began swaying from side to side , walking in small circles with head and neck drooped forward and wings half opened . all actions were similar to those described above , except the stooped posture was less pronounced and the neck and head were neither swollen nor intensely colored . the condor displayed for perhaps one minute , sat quietly for another minute , then left its perch and circled out of sight .

the andean condor is adapted for exceptionally low mortality and low reproductive output , and is therefore highly vulnerable to human persecution , which persists over most of its range ( 2 ) ( 10 ) . the andean condor is killed for sport , and farmers kill it as a pest because they mistakenly believe it kills their livestock ( 7 ) ( 9 ) . additionally , condors have been affected by pesticides that have been carried up the food chain ( 7 ) ( 9 ) and by poison placed for mammalian predators ( 8 ) . as the andean condor mates for life , and shares parental duties , the death of a mate also has a knock - on impact on the other partner and the chick ( 7 ) .

california condor : prefers large carcasses , such as deer , cattle , and beached marine mammals , but readily feeds on smaller carrion . leaves roost to begin foraging late in morning , after strong thermals form , often returning to a known carcass .

the california condor is the largest flying bird in north america . their wings may stretch nearly 10 feet from tip to tip . when in flight , these huge birds glide on air currents to soar as high as a dizzying 15 , 000 feet .

the andean condor is classified as near threatened ( nt ) on the iucn red list ( 1 ) , listed on appendix i of cites ( 3 ) and listed on appendix ii of the convention on migratory species ( cms ) ( 4 ) .

species status california condors ( gymnogyps californianus ) were listed as endangered under the federal endangered species act on march 11 , 1967 . as of oct 31 , 2012 , the total condor population was 409 birds and 232 of those were in the wild .

based on the novel " six days of the condor " by james grady and screenplay " three days of the condor " by lorenzo semple jr . and david rayfiel , condor follows cia analyst joe turner who stumbles onto a plan that threatens the lives of millions . joe has always been conflicted about his work for the cia . but when something he ' s discovered gets his entire office killed , leaving joe as the only survivor and forcing him to go on the run , the theoretical reservations he ' s harbored turn into all - too - real moral dilemmas . under pressure , joe will be forced to redefine who he is and what he ' s capable of in order to discover the truth and to stop a plot that threatens the lives of millions .

flight : andean condor spends most of the daytime soaring in the thermals created by valleys and mountains . the large wings are well adapted for soaring flight . they use the rising air currents and rarely perform flapping flight , always in order to save energy .

the researchers believe this huge bird surpasses the previous recorder - holder , argentavis magnificens - a condor - like bird from south america with an estimated wingspan of 5 . 7 - 6 . 1m ( 19 - 20ft ) that lived about six million years ago .

the original decline of the california condor followed the extinction of many large mammals in north america ( 5 ) . despite legal protection since 1900 ( 10 ) , the 20th century decline was due to human induced pressures such as trapping , shooting , egg collecting and lead poisoning following ingestion of carcasses killed with lead shot ( 2 ) . unfortunately lead poisoning still occurs regularly and remains the condor ' s greatest threat ; other current threats include collisions with power lines , shooting , and both deliberate and accidental poisoning ( 12 ) .

andean condor roosts in groups in cliff ledges . these large birds have to save energy by avoiding fights at carcasses , soaring in thermals during several hours apparently effortless , and storing fat reserves when food resources are abundant . these vultures can remain several days without feeding .

this species is found in high mountains , lowland deserts , open grasslands , along coastlines and in alpine regions ( 9 ) . unlike many birds , the andean condor does not build nests , but rather lays its eggs among boulders or in caves or holes ( 9 ) .

the condor’s bare head is an adaptation for hygiene since they eat dead and rotting meat and must , for the most part , stick their heads into the carcasses to feed . as unappetizing as this may seem to us , scavengers like condors are vital to the natural ecosystem .

fossil records reveal that the california condor once ranged over much of the southern united states , south to nuevo leon , mexico , and east to florida , as well as upstate new york . the disappearance of the condor from much of this range occurred about 10 , 000 - 11 , 000 years ago . by the time of the arrival of european settlers in western north america , condors occurred only in a narrow pacific coastal strip from british columbia to baja california norte . after the 1930s the condors were found primarily in central california , north of los angeles .

the 2016 artwork features three iconic pleistocene ( " ice age " ) animals from the united states— saber - toothed cat , long - horned bison , and a condor flying above . the landscape is an idealized representation of southern nevada within what is now tule springs fossil beds national monument .

one study of 40 condor nest sites ( both recent and formerly active ) found bones of immature cattle most often represented along with a wide variety of medium - sized mammals such as rabbits , ground squirrels , pocket gophers , coyotes , foxes , and weasels . ( collins et al 1999 )

the andean condor inhabits high peaks of the andes mountains of south america at elevations of up to 16 , 000 ft or 5 , 000 m . its habitat ranges from colombia in the north , to ecuador , peru , bolivia , argentina and chile in the southern end of the continent .

one reason california condor recovery has been slow is their extremely slow reproduction rate . female condors lay only one egg per nesting attempt , and they don’t always nest every year . the young depend on their parents for more than 12 months , and take 6 - 8 years to reach maturity .

a condor can fly over a hundred miles in a single flight ! they have a remarkable ability to soar on thermals , or currents of warm air that provide lift . this allows them to fly for a considerable distance without even flapping . condors roost in tall snags or on cliff faces to elude terrestrial predators . roosts may also serve a social function , as it is common for 2 or more condors to roost together and leave a roost together . depending upon weather conditions and the hunger of a bird , a california condor may spend most of its time perched on a roost .

the california condor is one of our nation ' s most magnificent birds , with wings spanning an amazing nine and half feet ! it is black in color with white underwing patches and a bald head with very few feathers . the color of the head varies from white to orange to reddish purple .

. in 2008 an agreement was struck between the tejon ranch and five conservation organisations to preserve 240 , 000 acres of the 270 , 000 acre property as an open space in return for not opposing the development of the remaining land , providing a vast amount of foraging habitat for the condor ( l . kiff

native to a wide variety of north american habitats , the condor is historically restricted to the pacific coastline and inland to the sierras ( 8 ) . inhabits rocky , open scrubland , coniferous forest and oak savannah ( 3 ) . nests have been recorded in rock cavities as well as in large sequoia trees ( 3 ) .

towards the end of the 1980s , with only eight individuals left in the wild , it was clear that the extinction of this bird was imminent . the remaining wild individuals were taken into captivity and incorporated into an intensive conservation breeding programme run by san diego wild animal park , los angeles zoo and the peregrine fund ( 13 ) . a variety of techniques were used in the breeding programme including double - clutching and the rearing of chicks with hand puppets , and in 1992 the first condors were released back into the wild ( 14 ) . numerous hurdles have had to be overcome , not least teaching captive birds to avoid power cables , but in the spring of 2002 the first wild condor chick for two decades hatched ( 13 ) . the rescue of the californian condor is an ongoing conservation programme but the successes so far have been inspiring and the population continues to climb ( 8 ) ; today the condor can once again be seen soaring over the rocky californian landscape .

habitat and range : andean condor frequents mainly the mountainous areas where it can fly in thermal currents . it occurs amongst the higher peaks of the andes . it may be found in low grasslands in argentina , and along the sea coast in peru and southern chile . it occurs in the andes , from western venezuela to tierra del fuego .

california condor : a single pale green or blue egg is laid in a shallow cave or rock crevice ; no nesting material is added , but the pair may manipulate rocks and other objects to form a crude nest . incubation ranges from 54 to 58 days and is carried out by both parents ; produces no more than one brood every other year .

postures to those described above are adopted by other cathartid vultures , but differences in coloration do not result in similar emphasis . for example , the black vulture does not have striking plumage patterns . color and pattern may assist or reinforce the courtship behavior of the california condor , but the ceremony itself is probably phylogenetically the older character ( lorenz 1937 ) .

as one of the largest flying birds in the world , the andean condor ( vultur gryphus ) forms an awesome sight over the south american skies ( 5 ) , as it soars gracefully on huge , motionless wings ( 6 ) . these magnificent birds have glossy black plumage with white flight feathers on the wings ( 7 ) and a distinctive downy , white ruff around the neck ( 8 ) . the bare skin on the head of the andean condor varies in colour , but is usually reddish - pink at the base of the neck , and more mottled greyish - pink or yellow on the head ( 2 ) . these birds have large feet with powerful claws and sharp , hooked beaks that allow them to easily tear apart their scavenged prey ( 9 ) . the andean condor is the only american vulture to show sexual dimorphism , with males possessing a large , fleshy lump on the front of their heads , called a caruncle , and neck wattles that are absent in females ( 2 ) ( 9 ) . juvenile andean condors are a dull brown colour ( 2 ) .

: march 25 , first egg laid by a wild , re - introduced california condor in the grand canyon national park . the egg was found broken , a common occurrence . later this year 2 eggs are laid in the same nest . scientists retrieve one because of probable incubation difficulties . chick is hatched june 17 , and is raised by a pair of captive birds

during each observation , the neck and cheeks of the displaying condor were much distended ; the bright red chest patch was inflated prominently ; the orange head was especially bright ; and the bluish - gray band at the base of the neck appeared as a pale ring , with a conspicuous rose - red spot on the ventral side below the bill . the condor at whom each display was directed , and also one other bird in the group , also had distended necks and cheeks , but their color was not as intense as that of the displaying bird . the remaining condors were duller in color , and no swelling of head , neck , or check patch was evident . bright coloration and distension of head and neck may be general indications of reproductive

recovery attempts for the andean condor have been made through captive breeding and reintroduction programmes , which have been moderately successful ( 7 ) . captive - bred andean condors have so far been reintroduced into the wild in colombia and venezuela , and early reports indicate that that some of these birds have begun to breed ( 8 ) . these results are extremely encouraging and provide hope for the successful preservation of this magnificent bird . a similar project is currently underway in argentina , and there is potential for reintroductions to be made throughout the species’ former range ( 10 ) . however , it is imperative that an education campaign to try to reduce hunting of the andean condor accompanies such measures , if reintroduced individuals are to be given the best possible chance of survival .

once a condor reaches six or seven years of age , he or she is ready to find a mate for life . condors will breed once every other year , with an elaborate courtship flight and dance leading up to mating . before that , an appropriate nest site must be found . condors build simple nests , often using caves in cliff faces to shelter their young from predators . raising a condor chick requires tremendous energy and time , so a pair will usually lay only one egg per season . however , they may lay a replacement clutch if their first or even second egg is lost . the egg is incubated by both parents and hatches after approximately 56 days . both parents share responsibilities for providing the nestling with food and warmth . at two to three months of age , condor chicks leave the nest but remain in the vicinity of the nest where they are fed by their parents . the chick takes its first flight at about six to seven months of age but may not become fully independent until the following year . chicks learn from their parents how to fly and find food . parents will look after their young up to two years after hatching .

the coastal condor population may have survived the widespread extinctions at the end of the pleistocene because they ate marine mammals ( that did not become extinct ) rather than terrestrial food sources ; by contrast , isotope studies reveal that a black vulture that did become extinct fed only on large animals living on land ( many of which became extinct ) . ( fox - dobbs et al 2006 ) ,

i can actually submit to the schedd i am attempting to query . i can work around this issue by setting condor _ q _ only _ my _ jobs = false ( which makes sense ) . i inherited the authentication settings and they have not been changed in quite some time . it looks like now would be a good time to take a look . thanks for the help .

prior to 1973 , the courtship display of the california condor had been described ( koford 1953 , wilbur and borneman 1972 ) , but no photographs of the event had been published . on 31 january 1973 , i had the opportunity to photograph a pair in courtship in the sespe condor sanctuary ( los padres national forest ) , ventura county , california . i had seen similar activity 20 february 1970 , 26 february 1971 , 3 february 1972 , and 14 december 1972 . the photos are not particularly sharp , and i suspect that a lot of courtship photos have been taken since the captive breeding program began . still , i think this is interesting as one of the few photo records of how the original , pre - captive breeding , condors behaved . by way of explanation :

: three chicks hatch in california ' s ventura county back country . there are now 97 condors living in the wild in california , arizona and baja . there are 124 birds in captivity at the wild animal park , l . a . zoo and the peregrine fund ' s world center for birds of prey ; the jonsson center for wildlife conservation established in oregon by the oregon zoo for condor recovery efforts .

the california condor population steadily declined during the 20th century until there were only about 22 known to exist in the world . the last of the free - flying condors were taken into captivity in 1987 in order to save the species from extinction . efforts to reintroduce california condors began in early 1992 , and continue to this day . today , they can be found primarily in california , arizona and baja california , mexico .

) , which forage by smell whereas andean condors forages by sight . larger andean condors are much better adapted at tearing into the tough hide of a fresh kill . the smaller vultures benefit from the labors of the condor and feed on what is left of the newly opened carcass . within the last century or so there has been an ecological shift in food availability across much of the andean condors ' range as native megafauna species (

large vultures perform sunning behaviour in the morning , because their body temperature falls several degrees at night in order to save the energy . the sun helps them to recover the normal level . but sunning is also used for feathers . during the flight at high elevation , the strong winds may bend the feather’s tips upwards . andean condor needs the sun’s heat for recovering the normal feather’s shape . feathers’ maintenance is an important behaviour for so large birds .

the display posture of the california condor gives prominence to most of the bird ' s brilliant colors and striking patterns . the orange of the head , the gray neck ring , and most of the red chest patch are conspicuous to the display partner . the white patches under the wings flash almost like mirrors as the bird sways from side to side . only the rose pink neck spot and a portion of the red chest patch are obscured from view .

it appears to me that the job is hung on transferring output for an hour after running the job to completion . then after an hour the condor daemon copying the data is determined to be hung and is killed . however we see the output file transferred to the schedd . similar behavior is observed on all the jobs that don’t “finish” . the behavior only seems to appear in longer running jobs as all of the jobs are setup in the same way .

the spectacular but endangered california condor is the largest bird in north america . these superb gliders travel widely to feed on carcasses of deer , pigs , cattle , sea lions , whales , and other animals . pairs nest in caves high on cliff faces . the population fell to just 22 birds in the 1980s , but there are now some 230 free - flying birds in california , arizona , and baja california with another 160 in captivity . lead poisoning remains a severe threat to their long - term prospects .

the california condor was originally widespread throughout north america , but by the 1800s they were restricted to the west coast , from british columbia to baja california . in the 1970s only 30 individuals remained , all of which were confined to a small area of california ( 6 ) , and on easter sunday 1987 the species became extinct in the wild when the last individual was taken into captivity ( 8 ) . an extensive conservation effort has been undertaken to re - introduce captive - bred condors back into the wilds of california , arizona and mexico .

2017 ) . a huge step has been taken towards eliminating the threat of lead - poisoning with the signing in 2007 of the ridley - tree condor preservation act , which requires the use of non - lead ammunition within the species ' s range in california and was implemented in 2008 . as of february 2009 , 99 % of hunters were compliant with the act . the arizona game and fish department is now distributing safer lead - substitute bullets free of charge to hunters within the foraging range of the condors ; similar programmes are being initiated in california ( l . kiff

california condors are the largest north american land birds and among the largest flying birds in the world . an adult condor will weigh about 22 pounds and can have a wingspan of up to 9 . 5 feet . adults are mostly black with white underwing patches . similar to their relatives , the vultures , they have no feathers on their heads or feet . juvenile condors are grayish - black , with short feathers on their heads that they lose as they grow older . the bright orange - red colored head and the white patches under the wings are easy ways to distinguish adult california condors from juveniles . males and females cannot be distinguished by size or plumage characteristics .

condors are obligate scavengers , meaning they feed only on carcasses of animals . a condor ' s sharp beak and strong neck muscles allow them to tear into animal hide and feed . they forage widely as far as 150 miles a day looking for deer , elk , livestock and marine mammals . having located a potential food item , condors frequently remain in the air circling high above the carcass before landing . circling behavior is thought to serve as a signal to other condors in the area , guiding them to potential food sources . condors apparently depend on visual rather than olfactory cues to locate food . having to face changes in food availability , condors have been documented not feeding for a periods up to 14 days .

andean condors roost on cliff faces and use thermal currents to lift off in the morning , and then spend most of the day soaring on updrafts looking for food . these birds scavenge on the remains of sheep , llamas , cattle , seals and occasionally newborn animals or the eggs of seabirds . the andean condor’s excellent eyesight allows it to spot a carcass from several miles away , and this bird is also known to watch the behaviour of other animals or follow smaller scavenging birds to find a carcass ( 7 ) . its sharp , curved beak can easily tear through the flesh and hides of the toughest carcasses ( 7 ) ( 9 ) . up to 40 andean condors have been observed together at a single large carcass ( 2 ) .

. the first chick born in mexico for over 75 years hatched in april 2007 . it is hoped these birds will range widely enough to be effectively connected with birds in the southern u . s . a . , and a bird from the baja population was seen in san diego county in april 2007 . 2015 was an important year for the species in terms of its recovery in the wild as it was the first year when the number of individuals that died in the wild was less than the number of juveniles that fledged ( silber 20116 ) . second generation birds have recently matured to breeding age , but no population can be deemed sustainable , and without substantial reductions in the use of lead - based ammunition within the condor ' s range none are likely to become so ( finkelstein

the andean condor has a long lifespan , in excess of 50 years , but breeds very slowly ( 7 ) . sexual maturity is not attained until 7 to 11 years , after which these birds , like all condors , mate for life ( 7 ) . the male conducts an elaborate courtship display involving drawing the body up and fully extending the wings , as well as making loud tongue clicks , while the reddish skin of the neck becomes bright yellow ( 8 ) . the female lays a single egg every other year , which both the male and female take turns to incubate ( 7 ) for about 54 to 58 days ( 8 ) . the young andean condors take a lot of time and effort to raise , being unable to fly until they are six months old and remaining reliant upon the adults for up to two more years ( 2 ) ( 7 ) .

the critically endangered california condor is a member of the new world vulture family ( cathartidae ) , and has an impressive wingspan of just less than three metres ( 5 ) . the featherless head and neck are a reddish - orange colour ; a few black feathers sprout from the head and there is a ruff of fine , glossy black feathers around the neck ( 6 ) . the neck has an inflatable pouch , which is important in courtship ( 7 ) . the plumage is black in colour with large white patches under each wing ( 6 ) . males and females are indistinguishable by size or plumage ( 8 ) . juveniles are grey and adult feathers do not replace this down until the age of five to seven months ( 6 ) . sub - adults retain a grey head until they reach maturity at five to seven years of age , when they acquire the full colouration of an adult ( 6 ) .

at 1006 on 31 january 1973 , two adult condors were on the ground near a deer carcass we had placed as supplemental feed . one golden eagle and several ravens were also near the carcass . one condor , the presumed male , half - opened its wings , with the primary feathers hanging vertically . with neck extended and head bowed , the " male " swayed from side to side in front of the " female . " while at close quarters , the " male " twice kicked one foot at the bowed head of the " female ' ( described by koford 1953 : 77 ) . " he " then turned and walked some 10 meters away from the " female , " still swaying from side to side with head bent forward . the " female " followed about half the distance , then the " male " turned and came back toward her , still displaying . the courtship ended at 1010 when the eagle , which had been standing on the deer carcass and feeding , flew away . both condors moved quickly to the carcass and began to feed .

apologies for the boring font , it’s needed to keep the parallel texts in line .

the english translations are a mixture of my own , and my adaptations to those by p . gelles and g . martínez in the english version , alias :

are therefore found in these texts only in spanish loanwords which have not been fully assimilated to quechua pronunciation .

the first passage in particular , where gregorio relates his time as a press - ganged conscript in the peruvian army ( where spanish was the only language it was permitted to speak ) , has an even greater number of loanwords from spanish than is usual in quechua .

this is largely due to the context of the peruvian army , an institution entirely dominated by spanish .

in the english translation of the first text have also been put in bold if they are ones that english has borrowed from french .

the suffixes given here are in the form and spellings used in the official quechua alphabet for southern quechua ( ayacucho , cuzco , puno , bolivia ) .

be aware , though , that he presents the bolivian forms of these , uses a slightly different spelling system and some different names , but suffixes should still be recognisable as the same as the ones given here .

justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .

the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' fairly common ' ( stotz et al . ( 1996 ) . trend justification : this species is suspected to lose 15 . 3 - 17 . 6 % of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations ( 14 years ) based on a model of amazonian deforestation ( soares - filho et al . 2006 , bird et al . 2011 ) . given the susceptibility of the species to fragmentation and / or edge effects , it is therefore suspected to decline by < 25 % over three generations .

dichomeris ardesiella is a moth in the gelechiidae family .

it was described by walsingham in 1911 .

it is found in mexico ( veracruz ) .

the wingspan is about 15 mm .

the forewings are dark greyish fuscous , with a slight purplish gloss .

the extreme costa is very narrowly edged with ochreous as far as the commencement of the costal cilia , where a slight , very pale ochreous shade is projected downward on the wing-surface , apparently indicating the line of a vanished fascia .

a minute blackish spot , at the extreme base of the costa , is followed by another , sometimes obsolete , on the cell at one-fifth , and beyond this , in the same line , is another discal spot at two-fifths , followed by another at the end of the cell , from which descends a short , inwardly bowed line of similarly dark scales .

there is another dark spot in the fold , below the median discal spot , preceded and followed by a few ochreous scales , of which a very few are also found connected with the two outer discal spots .

a few blackish scales occur along the termen before the faintly sub-ochreous base of the smoky grey cilia .

the hindwings are smoky dark leaden grey .
