? Ht/brid between Penelope pileata and P. jacucaca. 



In the Salvin-Godman collection there is a specimen obtained 

 from the Zoological Gardens, which is stated on the label to have 

 come originally from N. Brazil. It differs chiefly from typical 

 P. jacucaca in having the underparts of a deep chestnut, much 

 darker than in P. jnleata. There can be little doubt that it is a 

 hybrid between the two species.
