I do not know Dubois's reasons lot- keeping ('. clirysophrys 

 distinct from C. eeruginosus. The specimen from (he 

 Massena Collection, now in the British Museum, which 

 Souance (Icon. Perr. pi. \i.) figured under the name of 

 C. chrysophrys, does not appear to me different from typical 

 C. eeruginosus.

"This form of Conurus is closely allied to C. eeruginosus 

 from Guiana and Venezuela, from which it differs only in 

 the lighter colour of the forehead, sides of the head, and 

 throat, and 1 believe also in a somewhat longer tail."
