Type.

 Range. Bolivia. 



1. Pinarolsema buckleyi. 



Pinarolfema buckleyi, Gould, Aim, Si- Maq. N. U. 1880, v. p. 489 ; 

 id. Mon. Troch. SuppL pi. 8 (Aug. 1880). 



Adult'? Brown, with a purplish gloss on the back, upper tail-coverts 

 brown ; tail-feathers brown glossed with purple, and with a sub- 

 terminal bar of steel-blue ; under surface brown, apparently tinged 

 with metallic olive-green ; under tail-coverts whitish, washed with 

 brown at the base; bill black. Total length about 5 inches, 

 wing 2-95, tail 1-85, bill 1-2. 



Only known from the type, an abraded specimen, from which the 

 plumage of the freshly-moulted bird can only be conjectured, as has 

 been done in Gould's plate. The serrated tomia of both maxilla 

 and mandible show that this bird has no relationship with 

 Oveotrochilus but rather with Lampornis, an alliance borne out by 

 the colour of the tail.
