Habitat. — Ecuador, Peru. 



Male. — The only differences existing between this species 

 and L. gouldi are : the length of its tail which is half an inch 

 shorter in all the specimens which I have trom Ecuador, the 

 outer grayish buff web which is constantly half an inch longer 

 than the longest median rectrices, the patch of feathers 

 beneath the lower part of the abdomen, and the undertail- 

 coverts which are green, greatly margined with buff.
