The narrowness of the black interscapulium, the orange tint of the 

 nape and throat, and the yellow belly at once distinguish this species 

 from ft vitellina.

Subfamily II. PTILO CHLORINE. 



In this section I place a small set of mostly dull-coloured birds, 

 which combine the foot-structure of the Pipridce with the bill 

 of the Tyrannidce. They range from Southern Mexico to S.E. Brazil. 

 Whether Heterocercus should be referred here is to say the least 

 uncertain.
