 Adult male. Similar to that of A. beryllina, but with the chest- 

 nut colour at the bases of the inner primaries aud secondaries 

 more restricted in extent, and with the glittering green of the 

 under surface spread over nearly the whole abdomen to the crissum 

 Bourcier's name Trochilus marice was doubtfully referred to 

 the same author's T. devillii by Gould, and substituted for it with- 

 out hesitation by Mr. Elliot. On carefully comparing the two 

 descriptions, I feel pretty confident that T. marice refers to 

 A. benjllma rather than to T. devillii, and have therefore placed 

 %^m V^.r^"''^ "^ ^^^ ^°™^'' species. Regarding the application 

 ot 1. clevilhi there can be no doubt, as it was based on Guatemalan 

 specimens, and one from that country was compared by Gould 

 with the type. T. marice was ascribed to Venezuela most probably 

 m error. •'
