This South American species may be distinguished from the 

 Mexican C. ophthalmicus by its rather brighter olive colour above, its 

 lores and throat tinged with fulvous-brovra (in the other bird these 

 parts are nearly pure white), and the fulvous-yellow breast, which iii 

 C. ophthalmicus is greenish yellow likę the sides.

Similis C. flavipectori, sed rostro breviore, maxilla alba nec nigra, 

 gula cinereo-alba nec brunnescenti-alba, capite nigrescentiore. 



Long. alse 2*9. 



Hab. Bogota. 



Mus. Paris. 



Prince Bouaparte's Hemispingus veneris, of which the type is in 

 the Paris Museum, seems to me to be the šame as this bird. It is 

 certainly very closely allied to the common C. flavipectus, but I have 

 no doubt it is really a distinct species.
