Genera of TJuinmtng Birds. 57 



Median rectrices bronzy-green, lateral gray at base, then pur- 

 plish-brown with white tips. Bill and feet black. 



This species is very abundant in Brazil, Trinidad, Guiana, 

 and Columbia. 



Chrysolampis cr/'o-lioli, Oustalet, was a made up bird 

 fabricated in Colombia with half a specimen of C. moschitus, 

 and the other half of Florisup^a mellivora. 



Chrysolampis infumatus, Berlepsch, can only be a dark 

 coloured bird of C. mochitus, and I don't think it can stand 

 as a species.
