V Hermite à gorge grise. 



Habitat. — Colombia. 



Male. — The only differences between this species and E. 

 pygmaea are : the grayish colour of the chin, and the colour of 

 the median and lateral rectrices which are bronze at base, 

 passing to brownish-black ; the medians are tipped with white, the 

 lateral and outermost ones with rufous. What Gould des- 

 cribed as a black crescent across the breast must have been a 

 place without feathers, showing the black base of the feathers. 

 Many specimens from Bogota, in consequence of their bad 

 skinning, show that black crescent.
