Remark.—This splendid new species, which I have recently re- 
ceived from Santa Fé de Bogota, is precisely of the same form and

ERIoPus SIMPLEX, Gould. 
The entire body obscure olive-green ; the crown of the head and 
back of the neck tinted with purple; rump and upper tail-coverts 
a very little brighter than the back; under tail-coverts dull bluish 
purple; wings purplish brown; tail considerably forked, and black 
with purplish reflexions ; thighs and tarsi thickly clothed with snow- 
white plumes ; bill and feet black. 
Total length 43 inches; bill 2; wing 2}; tail 2. 
Remark.—The only specimen I have seen is in the collection of 
E. Wilson, Esq.; it is most nearly allied to H. eupreoventris, but 
its uniform dusky colour renders it conspicuously distinct. It was 
received in a collection sent from Santa Fé de Bogota.
