Kuhl describes this species from specimens brought by Prince 

 Max. of Wied from Brazil. Some of these were distributed to the 

 Berlin Museum, and to M. Temminck. The above description is taken 

 from the male example in Prince Max.'s Collection purchased by the 

 New York Museum and presumably the type, as it is not supposed that 

 the type of Kuhl's description would be permitted to leave the collec- 

 tion. It is in good preservation but the delicate yellow has faded con- 

 siderably.
