2. DIGLOSSOPIS. 



Type. 



Diglossopis, Scl. Ann. 4" Mag. N. H. ser. 2, xvii. 



p. 467 (1866) D. cseiulescens. 



The single species of this geniis somewhat resembles Diglossa j^er- 

 sonata in plumage, but is at once distinguishable by its more slender 

 and less hooked bill, the upper mandible being but just incurved over 

 the lower. It is Ibund in the higher Andes from Venezuela through 

 Colombia and Ecuador to Central Peru. The nest and eggs obtained 

 by Salmon in Autioquia in 1877 resemble those of Diglossa.
