I have never seen specimens from Brazil, where the present 

 species has been stated to be found. According to Sclater and Salvin 

 the type of Psittovius subcaeruleus, which was shot in Panama by 

 Mr. M'Leannan out of a flock of B. juyularis, is only an individual 

 variety, with a bluish tinge, of the last-named species.
