 or yellowish green ; sinciput and sometimes a streak behind the eyes 

 yellow ; bastard-wing blue, with the outer webs of the feathers 

 green ; primary-coverts bluish green ; under wing-coverts yellowish

 Female. No yellow streak behind the eyes. 



Hub. "Western Brazil, Upper Amazons, Eastern Ecuador, and 

 Eastern Peru. 



I do not know whether the yellow streak behind the eye ever 

 appears in the female. 



The locality Bolivia, attributed to this species on the authority 

 of a specimen in Mr. Sclater's Collection, is very doubtful.
