Hab. ? 



This species belongs to the section of the genus Pyrrhura 

 characterized by having on the lower back a brown-red 

 patch, the breast with transverse bars, the cheeks maroon, 

 and the bend of the wing red. It is allied both to P. leucotis 

 (Kuhl) and P. emma Salvad. ex Verr., but it is easily dis- 

 tinguished from both by the feathers of the throat and upper
