2 mari similis, colore rosaceo fere absente, capitis lateribus pallide fuscis nec nigro et albo ornatis, hypochondriis 
quoque fuscis nec albis distinguenda. (Descr. femine ex Tres Marias insulis. Mus. Smiths. no. 37,314.) 
Hab. Mexico, Tres Marias islands (Grayson, Forrer). 
This species, which seems restricted in its range to the Tres Marias islands, is a close 
ally of G. venustus, having the lateral tail-feathers tipped with white; but it lacks the 
black pectoral collar, so that the two species are easily distinguished. 
The late Col. A. J. Grayson first procured specimens of the bird, those in the National 
Museum at Washington, of a pair of which we gave a drawing in ‘The Ibis’ for 
1874. Mr. A. Forrer, who has recently visited these islands, also found it, and has 
sent us specimens of both sexes. Grayson’s note on his discovery is as follows:— 
“This handsome little bird is one of the new species discovered by me in the Marias. 
I always met with it among the low underbrush in the dark recesses of the forest, 
hopping about among the decayed logs and brush near and sometimes on the ground 
busily searching for insects; at every move it has a peculiar way of jerking up and 
spreading its pretty fan-shaped tail, at the same time the head motionless and bent: 
towards the ground, the wings recumbent, as if intensely looking for some little beetle 
or grub there concealed. Its notes are a feeble ?’cit, ¢cit. Its habits are solitary.” 
b. Capitis et cervicis latera plumbea ; guttur quoque concolor.

This pretty species, one of M. Sallé’s discoveries in Southern Mexico, was described 
by Bonaparte as well as by Mr. Sclater in 1856, and called after its captor. The male 
alone came under M. Sallé’s notice; but the female was afterwards discovered by 
BIOL. CENT.-AMER., Aves, Vol. 1, August 1881. 21
