Adult male (type). Green, a little paler below ; forehead and 

 anterior part of the crown red ; carpal edge and outermost under 

 wing-coverts red, with an orange tinge, the bases of the feathers 

 being yellow ; the greater under wing-coverts yellow, but some of 

 them, as well as the under surface of the quills and tail-feathers 

 olive, the quills dusky towards the tip and on the outer web ; 

 some of the tibial feathers red ; innermost under wing-coverts 

 green : bill yellowish white ; feet dusky. Total length 11-3 inches, 

 wing 6-2, tail 5-2, bill 0-95, tarsus 0-43. 



Young male. A few scattered red feathers on the forehead ; bend 

 of the wing and carpal edge green • only the median under wing- 

 coverts red, the greater ones dusky olive. 



Hab. Veragua, on the southern slope of the volcano of Chiriqui, 

 and Costa llica. 



Two out of the three specimens examined seem adult, although 

 perhaps not fully so, as in neither are all the greater under wing- 

 coverts yellow, some of them being dusky olive, the remains of 

 immaturity. 



This species differs from C. frontatus not only in its smaller size, 

 but also and principally in the red of the forehead not reaching the 

 eyes, so that the lores are red near the nostrils and green near the 

 eyes, exactly as in C. ivagleri ; it approaches C. leucophthalmus in 

 its yellow greater under wing-coverts.
