Stolzmann observed this bird on trees in the forests of Palto in Peru, and it was 
not rare at Tambillo®. It lives at elevations between 6000 and 9000 feet above the sea. 
‘In British Guiana Whitely met with it at Roraima and one of the neighbouring 
mountains at an elevation of about 3500 feet.

Hab. Costa Rica (Carmiol *). 
The single specimen which we now figure was sent us from Costa Rica by Carmiol and 
described in 1869, and is, we believe, still the only one known. 
The species is a very distinct one without near allies and may at once be recognized 
by the yellowish-ochre colour of its under plumage.
