L. rufaxillee ex Peruvia et Amazonia affinis, sed statura majore, cauda multo longiore, genis albidis nee violaceo tinctis, di-stinguenda. This species belongs to the L.-rufaxilla section of the genus, in which the top of the head is ash-coloured. L. rufaxilla was originally based upon a Guiana bird ; and to this species we refer specimens from Yquitos, on the Upper Amazons, and from the Cosnipata valley in Eastern Peru. The bird now described differs from these in its greater size, the greater length of the tail, and in having the face almost pure white. Buckley's collection contained two skins. 477.
