This bird is rather smaller than the South Brazilian species, and
may be distinguished from it by its brighter': and moré rosy colouring
below, shorter tail and paler feet. I have only seen specimens from
the island of Trinidad.

This bird may be recognized by its tail being of the santé colour
as the back, not brighter, as in th^ Brazilian species, and thersearlet '
breast. My examples were collected, by Signor Constancia in 'the
vicinity of Guatimala. Specimens received by MM. Yerreaux from
S. Martha, New Grenada, to which X have seen the MS. name
“ P . erythrolaimus, Bp.” attached, appear hardly different from tlie
Mexican bird.

Some examples of this splendid bird have the throat much more
red, almost scarlet. I have not yet seen the female, which would
probably have the throat black.
