_Description._--Above uniform olive; ill-defined superciliaries
whitish; ear-coverts dark; wings and tail blackish with olive
margins; well-defined spots on the tips of the two rows of
wing-coverts and outer webs of secondaries yellowish; below yellow,
rather white on the throat and olivaceous on the sides; under
wing-coverts pale yellow; bill and feet blackish: whole length 4·5
inches, wing 2·1, tail 2·3.

This species is stated to have been met with by Mr. Barrows among the
low bushes bordering the streams of Entrerios. Graf v. Berlepsch has
recorded its presence in Rio Grande do Sul (Zeitschr. ges. Orn. 1885,
p. 131), so that this occurrence is not improbable.
