The male has the occiput and nape and upper wing coverts and 
the outer webs of the outer primaries much tinged with dark brownish 
and is probably subadult. It is in extremely abraded plumage. The 
two females show no brownish on the auriculars.

Todd has recently (Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 56, 1943, 
p. 162) recorded this toucanet from Tonantins, on the upper Amazon, 
a new southern limit for the known range of the species. Apparently 
of local distribution throughout its range, this bird has been collected 
rather seldom and so has remained a scarce bird in museums. 
The immature male is in a state of molt ; the rectrices are only 
partly grown, and large areas of the sides and flanks and the center of 
the breast are bare. The plumage is identical in color and pattern 
with that of the adult, and the bill has the adult pattern as well.

As Todd says in his description of this race, it is a poorly marked 
form, discernible only in series. The size of the red ventral patch is 
a character that is too easily affected by the “make” of the skin to
