' Chaetocercus berlepschi Simon: Upper parts shining dark bronze green; throat 

 metaUic amethyst red; front of breast white; under parts and sides of body green; 

 size between that of C. rosae and C. bombus. The characters of the tail appear to be 

 intermediate between C. rosae and C. bombus (the latter being the type of Polyxemus 

 Mulsant and Verreaux, 1877). 



C. berlepschi has the outer tail feather slender and sharply pointed not at all 

 lanceolate (more nearly approaching C. bombus) but the outer primary is at least as 

 long as the next (as in C. rosae).
