granadense / granadensis
New Granada, a former republic of South America variously incorporating Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador.  The name of Granada, the last bastion of the emirs of al-Andalus, was taken to the New World by the conquistadores (cf. New Spain, the original designation of Mexico).  In early ornithology “New Granada” and “Bogotá” were used to designate species of unknown provenance presumed to be from the Spanish Main (i.e. the Spanish-held Mainland), the hinterland of north-western tropical America.
