• Metallura malagae Berlepsch: Similar to Metallura aeneocauda, but differs 

 in having the rectrices violet copper, instead of yellow and bluish green; bill some- 

 what longer. I suspect this form will prove to be of subspecific rank. 



^ Metallura tyrianthina oreopola Todd: Differs from M. t. tyrianthina in having 

 the general coloration darker and the tail maroon purple, instead of coppery bronze.
