This species, which represents Juliamyia typica in Ecuador, is, according to Mr. Elliot, precisely like that 



species, " except that the crown of the head is metallic glittering green like the throat ; in all other respects 



it is a facsimile of the ahove-named species. The female is like that of/, typica'' 



Mr. Eraser met with the present bird at Babahoyo, where, however, he states that " it was not very common 



and only found in the deep bush, where it feeds on the tops of good-sized trees," and again at Esmeraldas 



it was '* taken catching flies among the cacao plantations. In October it was common everywhere, in 



December rare," Mr. Stolzmann has also procured the species at Chimbo in Ecuador.
