Agreeing with females from Bahia ami Buenos Ayres. 



The species has not yet been recorded from Bio Madeira, but Natterer obtained 

 examples cm the Bio (Juapcuv and at other places in western Mattogrosso.

Like a young bird from Igarape-Assu, Para, this specimen has the foreneck and 

 chest strongly glossed with bronze green, and scarcely any indication of ashy 

 superciliaries. Skins from Bahia, S. Paulo, and Minas Geraes are rather duller, 

 more greenish ash on the foreneck and chest, and, as a rule, possess a broad ashy 

 white eyebrow. Since, however, the latter is barely apparent in one of my Bahia 

 examples, this character would seem to be of little value. Moreover, Temminck, 

 who based bis description upon Para specimens, sent by Sieber to Count von 

 HofFmannsegg, expressly says : " nne . . . bande composed de plumes blanches, 

 part de la raciue du bee . . . et abontit ... a Toreille." About the distinctness

" Iris brown, feet red, bill grey or black." 



Perfectly identical with specimens from Hnanueo, Peru, which had previously 

 been compared with Spix' type in the Munich Museum. 



This species differs at a glance .from the preceding one by lacking the 

 cinnamon-rufous edges to the scapulars and secondaries.
