Thalurania hypochlora, Gould, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 104. 



Hah. Citado, in Ecuador. 



This species was lately described by Mr. Gould from a 

 single specimen brought from Ecuador by Mr. Buckley. It 

 is very distinct, having T. eriphile for its nearest ally, but 

 differing materially from it in having the underparts green 

 instead of blue.

Hah. Brazil. 



This species may be at once distinguished from all the 

 members of this genus by the male having the entire head 

 and neck of a brilliant purplish blue. It is a native of 

 Brazil. 



Our specimens are : — 



Brazil : one {ex Gould), Mus. S. & G. ; one {Bourcier) , one 

 {Salle) } one {Whitely), Mus. D.G.E. 



Besides the species above mentioned, there remain two 

 others, on which we can give no opinion. These are : — 



(1) Thalurania lerchi. 



Thalurania lerchi, Muls. & Verr. Ann. Linn. Soc. Lyons 

 (1868). 



Hah. Columbia. 



This bird was described by Messrs. Mulsant and Ver- 

 reaux, in 1868. We have not seen the type, which we 

 believe to be unique, and are unable to give any opinion 

 regarding it.
