PHASIANIB^. 



Odontopliorus consobrinus, Ridgw. P. U.S. Nat. Mus. xvi. p. 469 

 (1893) [Vera Cruz]. 



Adult male. Upper parts very similar to 0. guianensis, but tbe 

 general ground-colour of tbe nape and mantle is olive-brown 

 instead of grey ; tbe wbole of the forehead and fore part of tbe 

 crest brownish black, the binder part bright rust-red ; tbe outer 

 webs of the primaries indistinctly mottled with buff, never regu- 

 larly barred or marked ; a dark chestnut band commencing below 

 tbe eye crosses the ear-coverts and passes down each side of the 

 neck ; cheeks, chin, and throat black, with white shaft-stripes ; rest 

 of underparts greyish olive-brown, tinged on the sides and flanks with 

 rufous, each feather with a subterminal white spot partially or 

 wholly edged with black. Bill black ; legs and feet horn -black (in 

 skin). Total length 11 inches, wing 5-9, tail 2-8, tarsus 1-7, 

 middle toe and claw 1'9. 



Adult female differs from the male in having tbe whole crest 

 brownish black (younger examples show traces of rufous on some 

 of the underneath feathers), and well defined whitish-buff shaft- 

 streaks down the feathers of tbe mantle which are scarcely visible 

 in fully adult males. Total length 10*5 inches, wing 5-7, tail 2-7, 

 tarsus 1'7, middle toe and claw I'S. 



lu immature Inrds (of both sexes?) tbe hinder part of the crest 

 is rust-red as in the adult male ; the neck, chest, breast, and sides 

 are mottled and barred with black, and the white diamond-shaped 

 spots take more the form of shaft-stripes ; the chin and throat are 

 mostly greyish brown, with a few o' the adult feathers on the 

 chin and sides ; and the upper and lower mandibles are orange-red. 



A q^iite young hird has the rust- red hind crest well developed ; 

 and apparently the young resemble the male and differ from the 

 female parent in this respect, but tbe want of properly sexed female 

 specimens prevents my being quite certain of this. 



Specimens from Dota, Costa Kica, and Chiriqui, where the ranges 

 of the present species and 0. veraguensis overlap, are somewhat 

 intermediate, having the underparts more or less strongly washed 

 with rufous.
