8 Chaetocercus astreans (BANGS) : Nearest to C. heliodor, but adult males differ 

 from that species in having the back, rump, upper tail coverts, abdomen and under 

 tail coverts shining metallic blue, the head only being green; metallic feathers of the 

 throat less violet. Adult females differ in having upper tail coverts green like the 

 back (not rufous as in heliodor) and two middle tail feathers green (instead of rufous 

 with a black bar like the rest of the rectrices).
