11. Chrysomitris stejnegeri. 



Chrysomitris xanthogastra (nee Du Bus), Scl. fy Sal v. P. Z. S. 1879, 

 p. 607. 



Adult male. Similar to C. ocantl tog aster, but rather larger, and 

 distinguished by its yellow thighs, larger yellow wing-patch (the 

 greater coverts being tipped with yellow), and whitish edgings to 

 the end of the outer web of the inner secondaries. Total leDgth 

 4 inches, culmen 0*45, wing 2-7, tail 1-55, tarsus 0-55. 



Adult female, according to Mr. Buckley, is like the male, but with 

 the colours not so bright. Total length 4 inches, culmen 0-4, wing 

 2-5, tail 1*55, tarsus - 5. 



If the similarity in the colour of the sexes is really correctly 

 determined, it is another proof of the difference between C. stejnegeri 

 and C. xanthogaster , with which it has always been united. 



In Dr. Sclater's collection is a Bolivian specimen collected by 

 Mr. D. Forbes and marked a female (apparently by Dr. Sclater 

 himself), which is dark olive-green above with some yellow spots on 

 the crown ; the head and sides of face are dingy greenish, blacker 

 on the lores and region of the eye ; wing-coverts greenish or edged 

 with the latter colour ; otherwise the wing marked as in the male 

 but more dingy black, the greater coverts being tipped with yellow ; 

 under surface of body yellow, the throat being dull greenish. This 

 seems to me more likely to be the plumage of the adult female, and
