 tude, $ adult, no. 8414, coll. of E. A. and O. Bangs, collected March 14, 

 1901, by W. W. Brown, Jr. 



Characters. — Similar to P. guy emilia (Bourc. and Muls.) of Bogota, but 

 bill slightly shorter; plumage, above and below, more glittering ; color of back 

 and sides, in both sexes, decidedly more bluish, less greenish ; upper tail 

 coverts always metallic blue. 



1 I have before used the generic term Ciccaba for these owls, but Mr. Ridgway tells me the 

 only character is the naked toes, and as this is shown in some of the subspecies of 5". nebulosunt 

 and not in others, the genus Ciccaba must go. 



2 Contscus — glittering.
