Rab. S.E. Brazil, Amazonia, Guiana, Colombia, Ecuador, and 

 Peru. 



This species, originally described from Brazil, is widely diffused, 

 as will be seen by the list of localities below. It is easily distin- 

 guished from E. chlorotica by its deep orange-yellow colour and 

 larger size, and by having only one of the external rectrices marked 

 with white. I cannot separate the Colombian form, E. brevirostris 

 of Bonaparte.
