and Ecuador are not sufficient to separate these birds. I have 

 some specimens from Colombia which are exactly like those 

 from Central America and Ecuador. It is a remarkable bird. 

 It was discovered in Veragua by Mr. Warszewicz. 



499. EUTOXERES BARONI, Ernst, and Hart., Novit. Zool. 



vol. i., 1894, p. 12. 



Habitat. — Rio Penado, Ecuador. 



Closely allied to E. heterura and aquila, from which species 

 it may be distinguished by its olive-gray tail with a faint 

 metallic hue only, if any, and with small white tips to the 

 rectrices, sometimes restricted to the central pair, and some- 

 times altogether absent.

Type in Museum Rotschild. 



I have not seen this species, but I am of opinion that it is 

 not valid. It must be the well known E. aquila.

Habitat. — Ecuador. 



This species is easily distinguished from the preceding one 

 by the shining metallic green spot on each side of upperpart 

 of breast and neck, and the three outermost rectrices which are 

 buff with white tips. 



It is a rare species. My specimens were collected in 1877, 

 at Napo, by Buckley. It was discovered by Bourcier, and 

 dedicated by him to Mr. Charles de la Condamine, the 

 celebrated French Astronomer.
