GOULDIA MQUATORIALIS, Berlepsch & Tacz.

Ecuador Thorn-tail.

Gouldia conversi equatorialis, Berlepsch & Tacz. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1883, p. 567.

 

Counr von Brerterscu and Dr. Taczanowski state that the specimens of Goulda conversi from Chimbo in
Ecuador differed from those from Bogota in having the elongated plumelets in the centre of the breast of
a fine blue colour, more or less intense, whereas the Colombian birds have these plumelets of a bluish or
golden green. The wings are also shorter and the smaller upper tail-coverts have more of a coppery

violet tint; otherwise the two forms do not differ.
