The type of this species, now in the Derby Museum at Liverpool, is stated to have 
been obtained at Coban in Guatemala!; but as no other examples for a long period 
came under our notice, we were inclined at one time to doubt the correctness of the 
locality 45. There was, however, in 1873, a Guatemalan specimen in the Museum of 
the Sociedad Economica de Guatemala, and more recently a specimen from Coban was 
submitted to us by M. Boucard, thus confirming the original statement. It must, 
however, be an exceedingly rare bird in Guatemala, as we have never found another 
example amongst the thousands of skins from that country that we have examined. 
Southwards of Guatemala its presence has been recorded in several parts of Central 
America, and in the State of Panama Arcé and M‘Leannan cbtained a few specimens. 
In Colombia, Salmon found it near Remedios, in the State of Antioquia, and this 
point seems to be the southern limit of its range. The two specimens from his 
collection before us are perhaps not quite adult, and have a greyish tinge on the throat, 
head, and lower back, not found in our Central-American examples. The dark spots 
on the under surface and the dark tips to the wing-coverts appear to be characteristic 
of the male sex; the flank-tufts are also of a reddish-orange hue in the female, those 
of the male being clearer yellow. 
This species, like Lathria unirufa and Lipaugus holerythrus, can be distinguished 
from the rest of its congeners by the cinnamon colour of its plumage. 
LIPAUGUS. 
Lipaugus, Boie, Isis, 1828, p. 818; Scl. Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xiv. p. 356. 
There are three species in this genus which have their representatives, so far as their 
coloration is concerned, in the genera Lathria and Aulia; but they are of smaller size, 
the rictal bristles are much more fully developed, and the tarsi beneath are rough 
towards their proximal end; the nostrils, too, are more hidden by the supra-nasal 
feathers.
