Penelope ochrogaster, Natterer; Pelz. Orn. Bras. pp. 282, 337 
(1870) ; Ogilvie-Grant, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxii. p. 501 
(1893). 
(Plate XXX VTIIT.) 
Adult Male.-—Nearly allied to P. pileata, the black evebrow- 
stripes being well marked, but the plumage is altogether paler 
in colour; feathers of the top of the head reddish-brown, 
edged on the sides with white ; back of the neck du// olive- 
brown, with a slight rufous wash, but scarcely differing in colour 
from the mantle ; under-parts light chestnut. Total length, 
30 inches; wing, 13°3; tail, 14'2; tarsus, 3°5; middle toe

I have had no opportunity of examining the female of this 
species, but it is said to resemble the male.

Ogilvie-Grant, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxii. p. 501 (1893).

11. pl. vill. (1846). 
Adult Male and Female.—Most nearly allied to P. pileata and 
P. ochrogaster, which they resemble in having well-marked black 
eyebrow-stripes, but easily distinguished from both by having 
the whole plumage of the upper- and under-parts dark brown, 
the former slightly glossed with green; the feathers of the fore- 
head, wing-coverts, and breast edged on the sides with white.
