Odontophorus melanotus, Zeledon, P. U.S. Nat. Mus. viii. p. 112 

 (1886) [Costa Rica]. 



Adult male. Difl'ers chiefly from the male of 0. s2}eciosus in having 

 the whole of the top of the head and superciliary feathers deep 

 chestnut ; ground-colour of the upper parts brownish black : mantle 

 without white shaft-stripes ; the outer webs of the ^mmaries marked 

 with rufous buff ; and the general colour of the chest and underparts 

 dark chestnut. Total length ii-5 inches, wing 5-8, tail 2-2, tarsus 

 l'7o, middle toe and claw I'So. 



Having no specimens sexed as females, it is impossible to state 

 with certainty what the diti'crence is between the two sexes ; but I 

 believe that the specimens which have the inner webs of the outer 

 secondaries tipped with buff arc females.
