Hab. Matto Grosso, in sylvis prope Urucum. 
Dr. Borelli obtained only two specimens of this lovely 
species, both females, and nearly similar, but one of them, 
perhaps older, with a reddish spot over the eye, and with the 
breast more distinctly tinged with rose-colour. Dr. Borelli 
saw a third specimen, but did not succeed in obtaining it. 
They were living in company with examples of P. molince. 
Urucum is a place about 18 kilometres to the S.W. of 
Corumba*.

This species belongs to the section of the genus Pyrrhura 
characterized by having on the lower back a brown-red 
patch, the breast with transverse bars, the cheeks maroon, 
and the bend of the wing red. It is allied both to P. leucotis, 
(Kuhl) and P. emma Salvad. ex Verr., but it is easily dis¬ 
tinguished from both by the feathers of the throat and upper
