 Aulacorbamphus castaneorhynchus, Gould, Mon. Ramph. ed. 2, 



pi. 44; Cassin, Pr. Ac. Sc.'Phil. 1867, p. 119. 



Above green ; superciliaries and patch beneath the eye slightly 

 bluish ; rump-band crimson ; tail tinged with blue, four middle 

 rectrices broadly tipped with chestnut : beneath brighter green, 

 sometimes bluish on the chest ; bill red, stained with blackish, and 

 with a distinct white basal band : whole length (large specimen) 15 

 inches, wing 5'5, tail 6, bill from gape -I'S ; (small specimen) 13 

 inches, wing 4*5, tail 5, bill from gape 2'5. Female similar. 



Jtfab. Colombia and Ecuador. 



There is an enormous difference in size between the larger and 

 smaller examples of this species, especially as regards the bill. But 

 I do not see how the so-called A. castaneorhynchus from Bogota 

 can be separated from A. ha'matopy(/iiis. Cassin was of the same 

 opinion (cf. Pr. Ac. Sc. Phil. 1867, p. 119).
