Brownish olive ; head strongly tinged with rufous : beneath 

 paler, greyish on the belly ; bill and feet horn-colour : whole 

 length 0-5 inches, wing 3-3, tail 2'7. 



Hab. Upper Amazonia. 



The brownish head seems to distinguish this species from 

 H. ivallacii. On the underparts they are nearly alike.

Heteropelma stenorhynchum, Scl. et Salv. P. Z. S. 1868, pp. 628, 

 632 (Venezuela) ; iid. Nomencl. p. 55. 



Above nearly uniform rufescent olive, rather brighter on the 

 head, wings, and tail : beneath paler, belly more cinereous, and with 

 very faint indications of transverse markings ; bill much com- 

 pressed : whole length 6-8 inches, wing 3-6, tail 2"8, 



Hah. Venezuela. 



This is perhaps a somewhat doubtful species, but I cannot refer 

 the two specimens either to II. ivallacii or H. amazonum.

 rufescent ; belly greenish olive ; bill and feet horn-colour : whole

Hab. Central America, from S. Mexico down to Panama. 



The olive-green belly seems to distinguish this northern form.
