Callist(E desmaresti, guttulata, cyanoptera and cyanescens, which 

 may be taken to be the principal representatives of this genus in the 

 circumjacent region. 



The Venezuelan Golden Tanager may be distinguished from its 

 allies by the dark chestnut colouring of the body below, varied by 

 the pale yellow blotch in the middle of the belly, and golden throat. 



I believe that in this and the other CallistcB belonging to the 

 present section, the sexes are coloured very nearly alike.
