Habitat. — Ecuador. 



Male. — Very much like A. cirrochloris excepting a metallic 

 lilac spot on the throat and the green colour of the general 

 plumage. I have examined the type of Gould, which is now 

 in the British Museum, and my impression was that it is a 

 poor specimen of Hypuroptila buffoni, to which the natives 

 have stuck some purple feathers of Clytolaema riibinoides on 

 the throat.

P- 55- 

 Type: P. cuvieri, Del. and Bourc, Rev. Zool., 1846, p. 310. 



Bill stout and straight, slightly longer than the head 

 and with the tips acutely pointed. Wings long nearly 

 reaching the end of tail, shafts of the two primaries broad 

 and flattened in the middle. Tail rounded, outermost rectrices 

 shortest, the others very slightly and gradually longer. 

 Sexes alike. 



Ranve. — Guatemala to Colom.bia.
