T his species, which represents Juliamyia typica in Ecuador, is, according to Mr. Elliot, precisely like that
species, “ except that the crown o f the head is metallic glittering green like the throat; in all other respects
it is a facsimile o f the above-named species. The female is like that of I. typica.”
Mr. Fraser met with the present bird at Bahahoyo, where, however, he states that “ it was not very common
and only found in the deep hush, where it feeds on the tops of good-sized trees,” and again at Esmeraldas
it was “ taken catching flies among the cacao plantations. In October it was common everywhere, in
December rare.” Mr. Stolzmann has also procured the species at Chimbo in Ecuador.
