Genus EULAMPIS Boie. 
Eulampis Bors, Isis, 1831, 547. (Type, Trochilus jugularis Linneeus.) 
Culampis (typographical error?) Lesson, Ind. Gen. Troch., 1832, p. vii. 
Rather large Trochilide (length about 115-125 mm.); upper parts 
and under parts of body velvety black, tail-coverts bright metallic 
bluish green, wings bright metallic bronze-green, and throat and 
chest soft metallic reddish purple. 
Bill longer than head, rather stout, strongly decurved, nearly 
terete, but decidedly broader than’ deep basally; culmen rounded but 
basally contracted into a narrow ridge; terminal portion of maxillary 
tomium minutely serrate; mandible with a distinct-lateral median 
broad groove or sulcus. Nasal operculum narrow, hidden by dense 
frontal feathering, the latter extending to or slightly beyond ante- 
rior end of nostril, forming a distinct point or antia on each side of 
mesorhinium. Tarsus stout, densely feathered, except lower and 
posterior portions; lateral toes equal in length, decidedly shorter than 
middle toe, the hallux as long as lateral toes or very slightly shorter. 
Wing more than three times as long as exposed culmen, the outer- 
most primary longest. Tail about half as long as wing, emarginate, 
the rectrices very broad, with broadly rounded tip, the lateral ones 
strongly incurved; upper tail-coverts very large and broad. 
« A specimen said to be from the Island of Nevis is mentioned in the text, but the 
locality is certainly erroneous.
