This South American bird has not the black front and chin of the 

 Mexican P. erythromelana, with which it is generally united, and has 

 less appearauces of black between the wings. If these differences 

 are constant, as they appear to be in all the specimens which I have 

 access to at present, the two species niay be rightly regarded as 

 distinct. 



Lafresuaye gives no locality for his P. bivittata, but his descrip- 

 tion is rather more applicable to the Mexican bird, and Tschudi's 

 ' ardens' seems the only term left for the South American form.
