Ochthceca consobrina, Berl. Ibis, 1885, p. 289. 

 " The back is of a very dark olive-green, the top of the head 

 presenting a slight suffusion of a dark ashy or blackish colour. The 

 chin, lores, and feathers round the eye, as well as an inconspicuous 

 or ill-defined superciliary stripe, appear dull whitish. The ear- 

 coverts are yellowish olive-green, bordered with blackish on their 

 tips. The whole under surface of the body is of an intense sulphur- 

 yellow, suffused or flammulated with olive-green on the throat and 

 breast. Wing and tail-feathers blackish brown, the latter margined 

 with olive-green. The primaries, from the third to the sixth, are 

 margined with rusty yellowish from the base to a short distance 

 from the tip, while in the secondaries these margins do not begin 

 until the middle of the feather and extend to the tip itself. The 

 tertiaries show broader margins of soiled white. The medium- 

 sized and the longest of the upper wing-coverts are marked on 

 their tips with large fulvous-yellow spots, presenting two well- 

 marked bands on the wing-coverts. Bill and feet dark brown, the 

 mandible paler at the base below. Length of wing 2'5 inches, tail 

 2-7." (BerlepscJi.) 



Hah. Colombia. 



The single " Bogota " skin of this species known is in the collection 

 of Graf H. v. Berlepsch. " The bill is very slender and com- 

 pressed, even a little more so than in M. leucoplirys"
