Ilah. Bolivia. 



Male. Only differs from L. cMattrii by having the crest conspicuously tipped with 

 dark green spots, and a slightly longer bill. Total length, 21 in. Wing, 1| in. 

 Tail, 1| in. Culmen, 3% in. 



Female. Exactly like that of the L. delaUrii. 



The L. lopJtotes, Goidd, is the same as regulus with still larger spangles on the 

 tips of the crest feathers. It is most probable that all these three constitute but 

 one species, which should be called L. delattrii.
