This is not a very common species in collections ; and I 

 have only a single example of it, obtained by Plant some 

 years ago in the Brazilian province of Rio Graude do Sul; 

 Messrs. Salvin and Godman have several specimens from 

 the same province. It extends into Sao Paulo, Parana, and 

 Paraguay. But I am very doubtful whether Schomburgk 

 really got this bird in British Guiana, as alleged ; for I do 

 not find its occurrence registered otherwise nearly so far 

 north. 



This species has much shorter wings than the last, which 

 it so nearly resembles in colour, and is altogether feebler in 

 structure. Dr. Cabanis has accordingly separated it under 

 the title Archiplanus.
