“Occurs, in company with Petasophora thalassina, on the Volcan de Fuego. Seems to keep entirely to the forests of the volcano. I have never met with it in the plains below. This is one of the commonest species at Coban. It may readily be recognized by the peculiar harshness of its note.”—Salvin in ‘Ibis,’ vol. ii. pp. 40, 263.
