Female. Above nearly uniform brownish grey, with a very slight 

 tinge of chocolate-brown on the head : below pale whitish cinereous, 

 clear in the middle and more ciuerasccnt on the sides ; under wing- 

 coverts white ; crissum slightly tinged with fulvous; bill blackish ; 

 feet brown : whole length 5-5 inches, wing 2-6, tail 2-5. 



Hah. Northern and Central Peru. 



My characters are from one of the two only known examples of 

 this species, kindly lent to me by the Warsaw Museum. In accor- 

 dance with M. Taczanowski's latest view, that this is probably the 

 female of a Chlorospingus allied to C. verticalis, I place it here, 

 but I am not at all sure that the discovery of the male may not 

 result in causing the species to be moved back into the Ccerebidce.

I agree with M. Stolzmann's opinion, recorded by M. Taczanowski 

 (Orn. Per. ii. p. 519), that this is a Chlorospingus, and that the 

 genus Dacnidea may be suppressed.
