Agaclyta nuna, Heine, J.f. Orn. 1863, p. 211. 



Adult male. Very similar to that of L. eucharis, but with the 

 glittering green of the throat more restricted and rounded at its 

 lower edge, instead of produced towards the breast ; the lateral 

 rectrices are steel-blue rather than purple-blue at the base, and 

 the pale outer web does not extend so far along the feather. 



Female. Does not differ from that of L. eucharis. 



Hah. Peru and Bolivia. 



The specimen from d'Orbigny's collection agrees with Whitely's 

 and Buckley's examples, and proves that 0. gouldi, d'Orb. & Lafr., 

 should be referred to L. nuna. 



Whether C. bifurcatus, Swains., said to be from Mexico, is also 

 referable to the same bird is more doubtful ; the locality attributed 

 to it must be wrong, no species of Lesbia passing the Isthmus of 

 Panama.
