This bird is rather smaller than the South Brazilian species, and 

 may be distinguished from it by its brighter and more rosy colouring 

 below, shorter tail and paler feet. I have only seen specimens from 

 the island of Trinidad.

This bird may be recognized by its tail being of the šame colour 

 as the back, not brighter, as in the Brazilian species, and the scarlet 

 breast. My examples were coUected by Signor Constancia in the 

 vicinity of Guatimala. Specimens received by MM. Verreaux from 

 S. Martha, New Grenada, to which I have seen the MS. name 

 " P. erythrolaimus, Bp." attached, appear hardly different from the 

 Mexican bird.
