Tus species, which we have not seen, was discovered by Dr. Stubel in the province of Yungas, in Bolivia.
It is described by Dr. Meyer, as follows :—‘ Upper surface bronzy green; head coppery; below golden
green, the breast bluish; wings purplish brown ; tail black, tinged with violet-purple ; bill black. Total
length 3°1 inches, wing 1-9, tail 1-0, bill 0-7.”

Dr. Meyer has sent us the following translation of his original article :—

“Dr. Stiibel procured the specimen described, on the 15th of December, 1876, when descending from the
village Yumata (2200 metres) to the Rio Tanampaya (1200 metres).
‘Besides the type specimen, Dr. Stiibel got from the same spot another specimen, which appears to be
rather young, the bronze glow being less conspicuous. I have named the species in honour of its discoverer.
‘Besides these two examples, the Dresden Museum possesses a similar specimen without any exact habitat ;
but the colour of the tail is rather faint and deeper black, and some grey terminal spots appear to prove a
still younger stage of plumage.
