Capito squamatus Salv. Ibis_, 1876, p. 494, pi. xiv. 
A pair of these rare Barbets from Santo Domingo. It 
was quite dusk when we saw three of them on the bare 
branch of a tree near the edge of the forest.. We killed two 
at one shot, but as they fell among the undergrowth, and 
it was too dark to see, we only recovered one, a female. 
The next evening at the same hour, and on the same tree, 
we saw another, which we shot, and it proved to be a male. 
It has the whole of the breast and abdomen white, with a 
wash of pale sulphur-colour on the fore part of the chest. 
The thighs are of a darker and more greenish black than in 
the female. The whole of the back, shoulders, and rump are 
glossy blue- black, with some brownish feathers on the nape. 
The wings are more clearly marked with white than in the. 
female, and the undersides are entirely yellowish white. 
The male has also a much redder forehead. In the female 
the back, shoulders, and rump are narrowly edged with 
greyish white, and the throat and upper part of the breast 
are black. The stomachs contained berries, beetles, and 
moths. Iris yellow. The single unsexed type skin in the 
British Museum is a female. 
490. Tetragonops rhamphastinus Jard. 
Seven males and three females from Gualea and Intag,
