Leucojiternis 2)lumbea tSalvin, Ibis (3) ii. p. 240, pi. viii. (1872. — 

 Ecuador) ; Hartert, Nov. Zool. ix. 1902, p. 605 (Paramba, 

 S. Javier. N.W. Ecuador). 



No. 2103. 6 ad. Sipi, 150 ft., 22.ix.08.— Wing 220 ; tail 130 ; 

 bill 24 mm. 



" Iris crimson, feet orange-red, bill black, base orange." 



This bird corresponds with Salvin's description and figure with 

 the exception that the thighs are but obsoletely barred with 

 white. The other characteristics, viz. the white under wing- 

 coverts and quill-lining, and the broad white bar across the middle 

 of the tail, are very well pronounced. 



L. plamhea, although nearly allied to L. schistacea Sund, * 

 of Amazonia, may easily be distinguished by its much smaller size, 

 by lacking the white a.pical band to the rectrices, etc., etc. It was 

 hitherto known only as an inhabitant of Western Ecuador f, and 

 is very rare in collections.

 province of Esmeraldas, N.W. Ecuador.
