This South American species may be distinguished from the
Mexican C. ophthalmicus by its rather brighter olive colour above, its
lores and throat tinged with fulvous-brown (in the other bird these
parts are nearly pure-white), and the fulvous-yellow breast, which in
C. ophthalmicus is greenish yellow like, the sides.

Prince Bonaparte’s Hemispingus veneris, o'f,whichtbe type is in
the Paris Museum, seems to me to be the same as this bird. It is
certainly very closely allied to the common C. flavipectus, but 1 have
no doubt it is really a distinct species.

This bird is of exactly the same cast of plumage as C. flavipectus
and canigularis, but may be distinguished by the colouring of its
head, which has a broad longitudinal paler band, and is darker,
almost black, over the eyes and again beneath them, and by the
white postocular spot. A specimen in my possession seems to be of
Belattre’s preparation, and agrees with that in the Paris Museum,
upon which Prince Bonaparte established his Poospiza olivacea.
