H2 TEOCHILI. 



Total lougth about 4 iuchos, wing 2*2 ; tail, central rectrices 0-95, 

 lateral 1-65 ; bill 0-9. 



Adult female'^ Like that of the allied species, but with the dusky 

 white of the under surface extending only to tlie breast, the abdomen 

 being dusky washed with green. 



This species has been united of late years to T. eryphile, but 

 appears to me to be distinct, and with a very differently coloured 

 female, it' the specimeu I have described as such is really of that 

 sex. The Quindiu male agrees with Ecuador specimens typical of 

 T. verticeps, Gould.
