Hah. South America, generally to Paraguay ; Ecuador ; Bogota ; Trinidad. 



(20,972.) Above plunibeouH-blue, with a patch of olive-green in middle of 

 back, as in P. americaua. Beneath rich yellow ; slightly ouhraceous on llie 

 jugulun ; tiie inside of wings, anal region, and cris.suni snowy white. Frontal 

 band a.id loral region black ; ears duHky. Two pati-hes of white or the wing. 

 A square patch of white on inner wen of outer tail feather near the end ; a 

 smaller one on the next feather. ^>.uialed scarcely different, though duller 

 and smaller. 



Length, 4.25 ; wing, 2.15 ; tail, 2.00. 



This species differs from P. americana, to which it is nearly allied, 

 by the greater extension backwards of a deeper yellow, and absence 

 of the decided brown mark of jugulum ; the black frontal and loral 

 patch ; less amount of white ou wing, and the spots on tail not ex- 

 tending to the third feather. 



A specimen from Trinidad, belonging to Mr. Newton, has the 

 breast and jugulum more ochrafceous than any other before me.
