 as follows: 



"Above greenish olive; wings and tail blackish, with yellowish olive edgings; 

 pileum and hindneck blackish cinereous; superciliary region chestnut; frontal line 

 and parotic region white; beneath pearly white, the breast, particularly on sides, 

 suffused with cinereous; abdomen and crissum yellowish; under wing-coverts white; 

 bill black; feet dusky hazel. Total length 4, wing 1.95, tail 2, bill, to rictus, 0.55,

To the above the authors cited add: "In its long slender tarsi and delicate feet this 

 species resembles Leptotriccus sylriota of Brazil, and it also has the pointed wings and 

 long tail of that bird; the bill, however, is somewhat larger and wid(>r. 



" The distinct chestnut superciliary streak over each eye is a strongly marked 

 characteristic feature of L. superciliaris.^^
