Range. — Existing species, Brazil, south of Amazon River, to 

 Paraguay and Uruguay; two extinct species, formerly existing on 

 the Lesser Antillean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique have been 

 referred to this genus, but it is by no means certain that they may not 

 bave belonged to Ara or were even generically distinct from botb 

 Ara and Anodorhynchus. 



KEY TO THE SPECIES OP ANODORHYNCHUS. 



a. General color violet. (Guadeloupe Island; extinct.) 



Anodorhynchus purpurascens (p. 119). 

 aa. General color blue. 

 6. Violet-blue (smalt blue), the bead, neck, and under parts cobalt blue; larger 

 (culmen 85-93 mm.). (Central Brazil.) 



Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus (extralimital).B 

 65. Dull greenish, blue or bluish green (terre verte to gobelin blue), the head, neck, 

 and under parts dull grayish green (artemiBia green) ; smaller (culmen about 65 

 mm.). (Paraguay, Uruguay, and southern Brazil.) 



Anodorhynchus glaucus (extralimital). c 



One extinct species, from the island of Guadeloupe, doubtfully referred to this 

 genus, was entirely violet, while another, formerly existing on the island of Marti- 

 nique, was blue above, the under parts orange. The last (A. mwtinicus Rothschild) 

 may, however, have been an Ara, and Count Salvadori (Ibis, 1906, 451) suggests that 

 it may have been A. araraunat
