Rather large Trochilidee (length about 115-125 mm.) with thickened 

 shafts to outer primaries, straight, stout bill much longer than head, 

 long graduated or cuneate tail, and under parts plain light gray.

 nearly so, stout, broad and depressed basally; tomia smooth; man- 

 dible with a median lateral groove, the maxilla with a less distinct 

 lateral groove. Nostril narrow, slit-like, overhung by a very broad, 

 convex, tumid, unfeathered opercidum. Tarsus densely feathered, 

 slender, about as long as middle toe, the latter about as long as inner 

 and slightly longer than outer toe; hallux decidedly shorter than 

 outer toe; toes all slender and weak, and claws relatively small, 

 especially that of the hallux. Wing much more than twice as long 

 as bill, the outermost primary longest, the three outermost with 

 shafts thickened basally, especially the outer one, which in adult 

 males has the shaft greatly swollen in middle ])ortion. Tail three- 

 fourths (more or less) as long as wing, graduated for more than one- 

 fourth its length, the rectrices broad but decreasing in width ter- 

 minally, especiall}^ the middle pair, which in adult males are abruptly 

 longer than the rest. 



Coloration. — Forehead and crown metallic blue or violet, the rest 

 of upper parts metallic green or bronze-green; lateral rectrices dusky, 

 tipped with dull grayish in females; under parts wholly pale gray.
