Lesson described and figured this species from a male specimen in the Rivoli 
collection from Mexico. The same author’s subsequent description and figure of the 
female belong not to this species but to Eugenes fulgens. 
C. clemencie is now known to occur over a considerable area in the mountains of 
Southern Mexico, and as far north as the Sierra of San Luis Potosi and the Sierra Madre 
of Durango, and even beyond the Mexican frontier in Arizona, where Mr. F. Stephens — 
obtained an adult male at Camp Lowell in May 188411. De Oca says® it is found in 
the neighbourhood of Jalapa, Coatepec, and Cordova in the State of Vera Cruz, but 
more rarely in the Valley of Mexico, where it stays from spring till the end of autumn. 
At Oaxaca, according to M. Boucard ’, it arrives in September, but leaves again early in 
November. He adds that it is a bird of the mountains, and, like Hugenes fulgens, 
capable of resisting a considerable amount of cold. 
This species has no very near ally; the colour of the throat is peculiar, and so also 
are the white tips to the lateral rectrices. ‘The elongated white postocular stripe it 
has in common with the members of Delattria and Oreopyra.
