Adult male. Tpper surface shining bronze-green, darker and 

 more blue on the head ; upper tail-coverts edged with fulvous ; wings 

 purple-black, the outer web of the outermost feather edged with 

 dirty white : eyebrow white ; under surface cinnamon, darker on 

 the throat ; the under tail-coverts with darker centres ; tail bronze- 

 green, each feather tipped with white ; bill black, more than the 

 proximal half of the mandible whitish ; feet yellow ; claws brown. 

 Total length about 4-5 inches, wing 2'7, tail 1"7, bill 1'35. 



Female. Similar to the male, but the under surface nearly 

 uniform cinnamon ; bill slightly more curved and the serrations 

 obsolete. 



Bourcier's name was based upon a female example said to have 

 come from Ecuador ; but it is now practically certain that the 

 species inhabits a limited district in Brazil. Gould's title, Gri/pus 

 spixi, was given to a male. According to Mulsant, lleich en bach's 

 name, Ehamphoclon clirijsimis, also belongs here, but the statement 

 of the Mexican origin of the specimen is doubtless wrong.
