aubenet’s humming-bibd. 
and wing-coverts are bright emerald green. A band 
of black, bordered on each side with white, crosses 
the rump, and the tail is of a clear blackish blue. 
The throat and forepart of the neck are clothed with 
small scaly feathers, having a rich green lustre, from 
each side of which springs a thick tuft of narrow 
rounded feathers, of a bright emerald green, and 
marked on the tip of each with a round white spot. 
The feathers on the lower parts of the body are of a 
rounded and scaly form, brownish black at the base, 
and yellowish at the tips, giving a waved appearance 
to the whole. 
The specimen of T. Audenetii, as far as could be 
traced by its describers, was brought from Peru.
