 Mus. Torino, xv. no. 368, p. 40 (Rio Peripa, W. Ecuador): 

 Hartert, Nov. Zool. ix. 1902, p. (504 (Pambilar, Carondelet, 

 N.W. Ecuador). 



iS^o. 2264. 2 ad. Novita : ll.xi.08.— Wing 1 60 ; tail 70 ; bill 

 55 mm. 



•'Iris scarlet, feet crimson, bill green, tip paler." 



This skin agrees perfectly with others from N.W. Ecuador, 

 notably with an adult female from Carondelet. Salvador! and 

 Festa {l. c.) have already pointed out that the description in the 

 Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxiii. p. 55, is not quite exact. 



J. ivolfi is nearest to A. mangle 8pix * and agrees with it in 

 the clear cinereous colour of the head and neck above, and in the 

 whitish throat, but may at once be distinguished by its much 

 larger bill, deep olivaceous-brown back, this colour passing into 

 rufous-brown on the mantle, black (instead of greyish) lower 

 abdomen and thighs, much darker, ruddy brown breast and upper 

 bell}^, etc. 



A. irolfi is new to the fauna of Colombia. It was only reported 

 as an inhabitant of Western Ecuador.

Typical of D. discolor-, the lower hind neck being buffy grey, 

 abruptly contrasted with the chestnut-brown back. 



J), discolor is widely distributed in South America south of the 

 Panama Isthmus.
