Agrees in form with T. elatus, Spix, nearly enough to he placed 

 in the same genus. Third and fourth primaries equal and longest.

Zamora and Gualaquiza, many specimens, all in moult. 

 This species is certainly very like the C. viretu of the United 

 States. But comparing it with the single specimen of that bird which 

 I possess, I find the head not so dark, the edgings of the wings paler 

 and more huffy, without any tinge of rufous, and the throat more 

 white. And I can hardly helieve that two species of this genus from 

 such distant localities can he really identical.

Cuenca and Gualaquiza, many examples. Found among the 

 hedges and on the cacti. At Cuenca common in March, found round 

 large trees in the fields, generally solitary, and ottering a loud ' tweet, 

 tweet,' like a grasshopper. Stomachs contained minute insects.

 than the long- tailed green one." {Labia.)
