Tachycineta euchrysea is known from the Greater Antilles. The nominate subspecies of
Jamaica is probably extinct, having not been recorded since 1989 (Raffaele
et al. 1998, D. Wege
in litt. 2011). It was known from Colfax County and the Blue Mts (Raffaele
et al. 1998, BirdLife Jamaica
in litt. 1998). The race
sclateri is locally common in
Haiti and the
Dominican Republic, especially in the Cordillera Central, Sierra de Bahoruco (Turner and Rose 1989, Dod 1992), Massif de la Hotte (Rimmer
et al. 2005) and Massif de la Selle (Dávalos and Brooks 2001). The populations of both subspecies have declined dramatically (King 1981,
Downer 1982, Raffaele
et al. 1998).
