Hab. Yalle Grande, Bolivia. 
A single specimen from the above locality, belonging to 
the genus Eriocnemis , is the type of Ornismya glaucopoides 
of D’Orbigny. It was afterwards described by Bourcier and 
Mnlsant as Trochilus d’orbignyi (l.c.), and has been always 
known to naturalists as Eriocnemis d’orbignyi. The name 
given by MM. Bourcier and Mulsant will now have to 
become a synonym of the one bestowed upon the species 
by D^Orbigny, which has priority of eight years! It is a 
very rare species, the type still remaining unique, no one 
having met with the bird since it was first discovered.
