P. sclateri may be readily distinguished from all other 
species of the genus by its small size and crimson breast- 
patch. In the latter respect it comes next to P. frontalis^ but 
may be known from that bird by its belly being green^ like 
the back^ except in the lowest portion.

This is not an uncommon species in Venezuelan collections, 
but seems to be confined to the wood-region of the coast- 
district. It extends also into the adjacent Kepublic of Co¬ 
lumbia, as Mr. Salmon has forwarded examples of both sexes 
from the province of Antioquia, but is by no means frequently 
met with in Bogota collections. 
The female in this species is longitudinally striated below, 
as in P. jucundtty not cross-banded as in P, frontalis and P. 
formosa.
