P. fitsco-castanea unicolor : facie, mento et regione auriculari cum cauda nigricantibus : rostro nigro, mandibula inferiore, nisi ipsa tornia basique, alba. Long. tota 7.0, alee 3.3, caudee 3.1. The only specimen T have seen of this species was received by Lady Ellis in a collection of birds from Bogota, and presented by her to the British Museum. At the request of Mr. G. R. Gray, I have named it after the donor. The form is nearly that of P. domicella, but there is no sign of a white subinterscapular spot, as is general in the species of this genus. The tail-coverts are very thick. The plumage is of a nearly uniform cinnamon-brown, brighter above, and with a greenish gloss on the breast. The front, sides of the head, throat and tail are black.
