 Brillant Emerald. 



le Panychlore brillant. 



Habitat. — ? 



Male. — Similar to that of P. aliciae, and about the same 

 size. The whole plumage is of a rich reddish-golden hue, 

 brighter and redder on the crown. The tail is very dark, and 

 of more bronzy tint than in all the allied species ; but the 

 outer rectrices are distinctly green, and not coppery-bronze as 

 in P. russata ; moreover, the tail is slightly forked. 



Possibly a variety of P. aliciae.
