 Chlorostilbon subfurcatus, Bm-l. Ibis, 1887, p. 297. 



Adult male. Very similar to that of C. atala but with the tail 

 scarcely if at all forked, the throat too sometimes has a faint tint 

 of blue. 



With typical specimens of C. daphne, C. napensis, C brevi- 

 caudatus, and C subfurcatus before me, I am unable to distinguish 

 between them or to separate them from 0. prasinus of Cayenne. 



Hah. Guiana and the whole of the Amazon, up to the foot of the 

 Andes of Ecuador and Peru.
