A nearly allied species to this widely distributed bird is Dacnis 

 nigripes from Brazil, lately described and figured by Herr A. von 

 Pelzeln in the Proceedings of the Vienna Academy (1856, March, 

 vol. xx. p. 157). It may be distinguished by its black feet, and the 

 female is more like that of D. angelica. I have specimens of both 

 sexes in my collection.

Prince Bonaparte has named * the Bogota variety of this bird 

 archangeliea. But if the Bogota bird be considered distinct, it 

 ought to bear the name " angelica," as originally given to it by De 

 Filippi, while that from Cayenne is more particularly Mr. Strick- 

 land's Dacnis melanotis.
