18(1 TKOCHIM. 



Similar to A. brerirustris, but with a glittering green disoal spot 

 on all the feathers of the throat and breast, so that there is no con- 

 tinuous median white lino on the under surface. 



This form of A. hrerij-osfi-is seems sufficiently distinct for recog- 

 nition. It probably has a distinct range, but trade skins do not 

 afford trustworthy data on this point. All Mr. Herbert Smith's 

 specimens from Matto Grosso are of this form.
