This species was met with on my first expedition only. In the 
neighborhood of Munduapo it was not uncommon. It is easily dis- 
tinguished from M. viridicata by its smaller size, and the deeper, richer, 
olive green above, deeper yellow on the belly and heavier wash of olive 
on the lower throat and upper breast. The yellowish tips to the greater 
and median line coverts forming two well defined bands are also 
distinctive.
