Our figures of this species are taken from specimens in Sclater's collection, the male being 

 one of de Oca's skins, and the female one of the Coban specimens obtained in January, 

 1860. 



The genus Chlorophonia comprises the following eight species : — 



1. 0. viridis (Vieill.) : Scl. Cat. Am. B. p. 55 — from the South-Eastern "Wood Eegion of Brazil. 



2. 0. longipennis (Du Bus) : Ex. Orn. t. xli. f. 2— from the interior of New Granada. 



3. C. frontalis, Scl.: Ex. Orn. t. xli. f. 1 — from Venezuela. 



4. C.flavirostris, Scl. : Cat. Am. B. p. 55 — from Ecuador, 



5. C. pretrii (Lafr.) : Scl. 1. c. p. 55 — from the interior of New Granada. 



6. C. occipitalis (Du Bus) : Ex. Orn. t. xlii. — from Mexico and Guatemala. 



7. C. callophrys (Cab.) : Trigliphidia callophrys, Cab. Journ. f. Orn. 1860, p. 331 — Acroconipsa callophrys, Cab. 1. c. 



1861, p. 88— from Costa Eica. 



8. 0. cyanodorsalis, Dubois, Eev. Zool. 1859, p. 49, t. 2— said to be from Guatemala. 



We possess specimens of all these species except the last two, Salvin has examined the 

 typical specimen of C. callophrys in the Berlin Museum, and is satisfied as to its distinctness.
