This beautiful species, which is figured pl. lIxx., seems to come 
nearest to Calliste aurulenta, though the Prince Canino compares 
t with Calliste zanthocephala (Tsch.) It may be distinguished 
from all other species of the genus by the peculiar bluish silver- 
tke colour of the throat; which is continued round the back of the 
irs and forms a complete collar. M. Bourcier found this species 
rs E. valley of Punta Playa, south of Quito. The specimen figured 
sie I Sil of Mr. Edward Wilson—one other is in the Pari- 
. Collection.
