rvfiis of Bolivia and southern Peru. It differs much, however, from tliat 

 liird in its streaked throat and breast, as well as in other details of color- 

 ing. Although smaller, in a general way 0. pernix suggests MyioOtereles 

 utriaticollw, which occurs in the same region with it. The two are, of 

 course, very different in detail, but their superficial resemblance is quite 

 striking.
