“Tris black, feet greyish pink, bill black, lower mandible greyish with 
dusky tip.” 
The light portions of the outer tail-feathers are pure white as in topotypical 
Surinam examples, from which I am unable to separate the Madeira series. 
TL. leucurus, besides occurring in French, Dutch, and British Guiana, is also widely 
distributed in Amazonia. Mr. Hoffmanns obtained it at various places on the 
Rio Madeira, as well as near Teffé, Rio Solimoéns (cf. Nov. Zool. xiv. p. 74).

The females are dull cinnamomeons below, with the middle of the belly white,

269. Phoethornis ochraceiventris Hellm. 
Phoethornis affinis ochraceiventris Hellmayr, Bull. B. O. C. xix. p. 54 (1907.—Humaytha),

No. 7. 2 ad., Calama, 9. vi. 1907. “Iris blackish, feet greyish brown, bill 
black, below red.”—Wing 59; rectr. med. 71, submed, 40, ext. 28 ; bill 36 mm. 
Compared with the type, this bird is smaller with a shorter bill, and the 
colour of the foreneck and chest duller, brownish buff, the abdomen and under 
tail-coverts alone being bright ochraceous buff. The edges to the outer rectrices 
are, however, clear cinnamon as in the Teffé and Humaytha specimens. : 
The species ranges from the Madeira Valley to Teffé, on the Solimoéns.
