The single example obtained by Mr. Fraser at Gualaquiza in 

 Ecuador is the only specimen I have yet seen of this Philydor. The 

 species most nearly resembles Philydor pyrrhodes (Cab.), but wants 

 the conspicuous pale cinnamomeous rump of the latter species, and 

 is also much paler in colouring below. I possess examples of the 

 following eight species, which I refer to this group of the Dendroco- 

 laptidce.
