This bird differs from thé members of the genus Orckêsticus, with
which it has been lately associated,'in the smaller straighter bill, tery
short wings, and more squared tail.

Mr. Gould’s types are the only specimens I have seen of this,
peculiar bird. They were collected by Mr. Hawxwell in August
■’1852 upon the Ucayali, and are marked “ Irides red.” I rather
doubt this being the true place of this species, but at present I am
unable to indicate a better one.
