The adult female of this species probably resembles the vudc, the young bird 

 described above being in the act of assuming ferruginous instead of strijied plumage. 

 In some points of coloration this species resembles P. eri/t/n-oplii/s, but the wings are 

 plain and there are no spots on the tail, besides other differences.

This beautiful Finch is clearly allied to Haemophila pulehra Scl. (7/ns, 1886, 

 p. 258, PI. viii.), which is found in the Andes above Lima. The general enjoration 

 is similar in the two birds, but there are many points of diDference. 



iMr. Baron's collection contains several specimens of this species, including a 

 J'ema/e, which proves that there is no material difference between the sexes as 

 regards the coloration of the plumage.
