White obtained examples of this species at Fuerte de Andalgala, in Catamarca, in September 1880. They were feeding on the flowers of the "Idiondilla," which is one of the "Humming-bird-plants" of that district. "They are very swift and wild in their movements," he tells us, and "make a very loud hum," louder in fact than any other species with which he was acquainted.
