wing-band is less conspicuous, the borders only of the inner webs of 

 the quills being white. It also differs in having a bright blue beak and 

 red eyes. Azara discovered it in Paraguay, and described the brown- 

 plumaged female as a distinct species. He merely says that it sits on 

 the summit of a bush and darts after passing insects, but it will, no 

 doubt, be found to possess some curious performing habits like the 

 other species of the genus. 



Mr. Barrows met with this species on the Lower Uruguay, in the 

 month of September, and Burmeister obtained it near Mendoza.
