Thrysthorus 
(No. 100,4% .) Above reddish-olivaceous, nearly uniform, except towards and 
on the tail coverts, which are more rufous. Entire exposed surface of the wings, 
including coverts, conspicuously barred with black, this color rather narrower 
than the interspaces ; lesser coverts more obsoletely. Chin and throat above 
white; rest of under parts, including lining of wing, at first pale fulvous, 
becoming much deeper on the flanks, anal region, and crissum. No indica- 
tions of any bars beneath. Sides of head, including a line from bill over the 
eye, white; a brownish line behind the eye, scarcely continued through the 
whitish lores. Ear coverts white, obscurely edged with dusky. Tail reddish- 
brown, lighter than tbe back, with rather bread transverse bars of black about 
half the width of interspaces. In the male the upper tail coverts are obsoletely 
barred, like the tail; the female shows no traces of it. 
Specimens from the Atrato region are similar, but less intense in coloration, 
paler beneath, and in this respect approaching albipectus.
