This beautiful species was first discovered by Mr. Eraser in 
the Western Andes of Ecuador^ north of Quito^ in 1859. 
Several examples of it have occurred in Quitan collections 
since that period; but the bird is by no means common. 
In Mr. Buckley^s recent collection from Ecuador the only 
example of the female that I have yet met with occurs. This 
is now in Messrs. Salvin and Godman’s collection.

I have as yet seen but a single individual of Pipreola ele¬ 
gans, the type specimen, which I examined at Neuchatel 
many years ago, and which I have now again before me, 
thanks to the kindness of M. Coulon. 
In his ^ Fauna Peruana,^ Tschudi has stated that this species 
is the same as P. aureipectus; but this is quite an error, as I 
pointed out in 1856 (1. s. c .). Its nearest ally is, in fact, P. 
jucunda; and these two species differ from all others of the 
genus in the outer secondaries being without any traces of 
white terminations. 
Besides these nine species, which I regard as firmly estab-
