Тне present species is known only from Upper Amazonia and Bolivia. It was first sent by the 
veteran collector, John Hauxwell, from Pebas (Lawrence, J. c.), who subsequently met with the 
species at Samiria in October, a specimen from this locality being in the Salvin-Godman Collection. 
Mr. Edward Bartlett obtained it at Nauta, Chamicuros, and Santa Cruz (Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1866, 
p. 177, 1878, p. 255). The late Henry Whitely also procured it at Yquitos in October (Seebohm, 
Cat. Birds, v. p. 217). Dr. Rusby, on his journey through Bolivia down the Rio Madeira, met with 
it at Reyes in June (Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. ii. p. 78, 1889). 
Mr. Bartlett says that he found the species less common than T. pheopygus, resorting to low 
boggy places near water. Dr. Rusby states that in Bolivia he observed it “frequenting open ground, 
preferring low bushes in or bordering prairies rather than the forest." 
This species is evidently closely allied to 7. plebeius and T. obsoletus, but is everywhere more 
chestnut than the former species. Тһе head and upper surface of the body are decidedly chestnut, 
not olive-brown, and the same shade pervades the wings and tail. Тһе under surface of the body is 
rufous-brown, the throat is scarcely paler, with a few indistinct blackish streaks; there is a little 
white on the lower abdomen, and the under tail-coverts are brown washed with rufous and having 
dusky mesial shaft-lines. The under wing-coverts and axillares are rich deep orange, brownish 
towards their bases; the quills are dusky below, rufescent along the inner webs. 
From T. obsoletus it is very difficult to separate T. hauawelli, and the only characters that I can 
find are the larger bill, whiter abdomen and under tail-coverts, the latter being less broadly edged 
with brown. 
A male from Samiria in the Salvin-Godman Collection measures as follows :—Total length 
9 inches, culmen 0:85, wing 4:45, tail 8:85, tarsus 1:15. 
А female from Santa Cruz is 8:6 inches іп length, and has the wing 4:45 inches, the culmen 
being 0:9 inch. 
The specimen figured is a skin from Pebas in the Seebohm Collection. [R. B. 6.
