from the male in precisely the same manner as Mr. Bangs' Colombian 

 female differed from my Costa Rican male of F. rufipectus, so that we 

 decided that the Colombian bird was a female of F. rufipectus, hitherto 

 undescribed. Since the published description of this species is rather 

 meagre, I herewith give a full description of both sexes. 



Male. — Whole pileum and nape very dark chestnut-maroon, 

 brighter on the nape ; lores, superciliary stripe, sides of head and 

 neck and whole of throat deep black ; rump and exposed portion of 

 wings rich clove-brown ; upper tail-coverts rich chestnut-maroon, 

 brighter than pileum ; rectrices blackish, edged with olive-brown 

 basally ; whole chest rich dark chestnut-brown, connected with the 

 chestnut-maroon of nape by a narrow collar around sides of neck ; 

 breast and median portion of abdomen paler chestnut-rufous, becoming 

 more cinnamon-rufous posteriorly ; sides and flanks dark grayish-olive ; 

 under tail-coverts color of chest ; inner webs of remiges sooty-gray ; 

 primaries cinnamon-ochraceous basally ; under wing-coverts pale 

 cinnamon-ochraceous basally and black apically ; bill black ; tarsi 

 and feet dark horn-color ; iris hazel. Measurements : length, 208 

 mm.; wing, 90; tail, 57; culmen, 23; tarsus, 42. 



Female. — Differs from the male in being more ashy on the back, 

 with the wings more olive than clove-brown ; the sides and flanks 

 decidedly slate-gray ; the chest paler, about the color of the breast of 

 the male, while the breast and median portion of the abdomen is pale 

 fulvous, almost ochraceous. The measurements are practically the 

 same as for the male. (Specimen from Rio Cali, Colombia, collected 

 by Mervyn G. Palmer, coll. O. Bangs.)

This is another exceedingly rare bird, probably found only in 

 Costa Rica and southeastern Nicaragua, but thus far known only from
