Typical locality. Montailas of North Peru. 



Type in Mus. Neuchatel, collected by J. J. v. Tschudi. 



Obs. — It must remain doubtful whether the birds from 

 Santa Cruz, E. Bolivia, referred to by d'Orbigny and 

 Lafresnaye as P. rubrocapilla 8 , belong to the latter species 

 or to P. chloromeros, since the description of the thighs — 

 " cruribus flavescentibus externis, in infima parte coccineis " 

 — does not quite suit either. It is true that I have seen only 

 P. chloromeros from Bolivia, but all the specimens which I 

 have examined came from the northern part of that country, 

 and it is not impossible that P. rubrocapilla, which occurs 

 in Mattogrosso, extends its range to the eastern slopes of 

 the Andes in Central Bolivia 7 .

 brownish, lower mandible whitish horn -coloured ; feet pale

7 D'Orbigny's two specimens, male adults, from Yuracares and 

 Santa Cruz respectively, are now before me. They both belong to 

 P. chloromeros.
