 blackish." 



Range. — Existing species, Brazil, south of Amazon Kiver, to 

 Paraguay and Uruguay; two extinct species, formerly existing on 

 the Lesser Antillean islands of Guadeloupe and Martiaique have been 

 referred to this genus, but it is by no means certam that they may not 

 have belonged to Ara or were even generically distinct from both 

 Ara and AnodorJiynclius. 



KEY TO THE SPECIES OF ANODORHYNCHUS. 



a. General color violet. (Guadeloupe Island; extinct.) 



Anodorhynchus purpurascens (p. 119). 

 aa. General color blue. 

 b. Violet-blue (smalt blue), tlie head, neck, and under parts cobalt blue; larger 

 (culmen 85-93 mm.). (Central Brazil.) 



Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus (extraliniital).^ 

 bb. Dull greenish blue or bluish green (terre verte to gobelin blue), the head, neck, 

 and under parts dull grayish green (artemisia green) ; smaller (culmen about 65 

 mm.). (Paraguay, Uruguay, and southern Brazil.) 



Anodorhynchus glaucus (extralimital).c 



a One extinct species, from the island of Guadeloupe, doubtfully referred to this 

 genus, was entirely violet, while another, formerly existing on the island of Iklarti- 

 nique, was blue above, the under parts orange. The last {A. martinicus Rothschild) 

 may, however, have been an Ara, and Count Salvador! (Ibis, 1906, 451) suggests that 

 it may have been A. ararauna?
