Doricha bryante was described by Mr. Lawrence from specimens sent by Julian 
Carmiol from Costa Rica to the United States National Museum. The precise loca- 
lities where these specimens were procured was not stated in the first instance; but in 
his List of Costa-Rica birds Mr. Lawrence gives Dota and Las Cruces de Candelaria 
as places where this bird is found. In parts of the State of Panama it appears to be a 
very common bird, as our collector Arcé sent us a large series of specimens, mostly 
obtained at Castillo. 
Mr. Lawrence compared D. bryante with D. evelyne of the Bahama Islands, and no 
doubt the two birds have some characters, such as the colour of the apices of the lateral 
rectrices of the females, in common. But D. bryante@ is the only species of the genus 
which has all the outer rectrices edged on the inner webs with rufous—a small but 
significant character.

The single species constituting this genus is a very peculiar bird as regards the 
coloration of the outer rectrices of the tail; these are conspicuously tipped and banded 
with white in a way not found in any other Humming-Bird. The outermost rectrices 
are peculiarly shaped, being reduced in width towards the end and then slightly 
expanded to form an incipient spatula. In other structural characters Tilmatura 
seems to come next to Doricha. 
The range of the genus extends over Southern Mexico and Guatemala to Northern 
Nicaragua.
