crown and rump crimson. 
The locality of this very distinct species partakes 
somewhat of the uncertainty of the last, nor have 
we been able to get any information respecting it

have yet met with, and it does not appear to be 
described by any author. 
In size and general proportions it differs much 
from the last, particularly in its tail and wings, 
both of which are unusually long. It is a slender- 
shaped bird, and nearly of the size of Dendrobates 
poicephalus. It may be known at once by its plumage

strictly typical. 
The front, the sides, and the nape of the neck, as 
also the chin and ears, are of a full and somewhat 
clear lead colour, or cinereous ; and this tint is the
