This bird I cannot distinguish from some Cayenne and British Guiana 
Specimens, the upper wing-coverts being narrowly, but distinctly, vermiculated 
with whitish. Perhaps the uropygium is deeper blue, and the white ends of the 
three onter rectrices somewhat wider, but these slight divergencies are probably 
individual. 
The distribution of 7. v. violaceus and T. v. ramoniana Dev. & Des Mars * is 
difficult to understand. The former ranges from French Guiana westwards to the 
Amazonian slopes of the Colombian Andes, but occurs also on the middle course 
of the Rio Madeira. 7.7, ramoniana extends from the Rio Napo (Eastern Ecuador) 
south to Peru, and is, furthermore, found in Lower Amazonia, specimens from 
Victoria (left bank of the Xingtt) being in every respect similar to Peruvian 
examples !

Agree with the type in having the tail mainly dark green, and the central 
rectrices not spatulated. Cf my remarks /.c. 
U. m. martii is widely distributed in Amazonia, ranging from Kastera Ecuador 
and Peru to the left bank of the Tapajéz. In Western Ecuador, Colombia, etc., it 
is replaced by U. m. semirufa (Scl.). Of. my revision of Spix’s types, p. 611.
