Buff-tailed Sicklebill from the only other member of the genus Eutoxeres, the White-tipped Sicklebill (E. aquila), which has a more northerly distribution.

The Buff-tailed Sicklebill (Eutoxeres condamini) is a species of hermit hummingbird from the east Andean slopes (up to 3300 m/10800 ft) and adjacent west Amazonian lowlands in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. It is restricted to the undergrowth of humid forested and wooded habitats. It is inconspicious and easily overlooked, but generally fairly common and therefore considered to be of Least Concern by BirdLife International. More

Buff-tailed Sicklebill, for com- parison with its closest relative, and for testing the applicability of current mating-system the- ory to atypical forms such as these. METHODS From August 1978 to November 1980, I worked on a 25-ha plot of undisturbed lower montane humid forest at 1,400 m on the southwestern flank of Mount Missim, Morobe Province (for details of the site see Beehler and Pruett-Jones 1983). I was on the study site (known as Missim Camp One) for 249 days. More
