Differs from L. holeri/thnis hoIerythru><, Scl. & Salv., which 

 inhabits Central America, and rang-es from Vera Paz to 

 Chiriqui (type from Guatemala), in its much deeper, almost 

 cinnamon-chestnvit colour throughout, both above and 

 below. This is especiall}' striking on the breast, Avhich is 

 deeper in colour than the throat, lower abdomen and under 

 tail-coverts, as well as on the sides of the head, wings and 

 tail. Males and females are alike in colour, but the latter 

 are a little smaller. Two males collected by Mr. Rosenberg 

 on the Rio Dagua, have wings measuring 10.") and 106 mm.; 

 two females collected by the same traveller at Cachabe, 

 have wings of 99 and about 102 mm. The specimens from 

 Yuntas, on the Rio Dagua, collected by Raap, have the 

 wings 97'5 to 105*5 mm. The tails measure 86 to 94 mm.; 

 the bills 19 to 21*3 mm. " Iris, light brown; feet slate or
