The restricted purple of the throat, and the uniform bright shining 

 blue of the body at once distinguish this splendid species. The 

 white patch on the under surface of the wings is also much more 

 strongly developed. In the female this becomes rufous, and serves 

 to separate this sex from the corresponding sex of C. cay ana.
