There can be no doubt, I think, that P. salvini is a very 

 distinct species, and that it has remained undescribed till now. 

 I have long ago remarked the differences, having had old 

 males of both P. salvini and P. rubicoides from the same 

 locality, viz. Vera Paz, in Guatemala, sent to me in 1878 by 

 Mr. Schneider of Basel. But before descVibing the new 

 species, I wished to know the opinion of our first authority 

 on the birds of Central America, and sent my specimens to 

 my friend Mr. O. Salvin for comparison. 



I feel much pleased that this gentleman agrees with me in 

 considering the bird above described to belong to a new species; 

 and I have accordingly named it after one of the distin- 

 guished authors of the ' Biologia Centrali-Americana.^
