Longuemare’s Hermit (Phaëthornis Longuemareus), John Gould It is believed by M. Bourcier and other continental ornithologists that the Phaëthorms Longuemareus and P. intermedius of Lesson are one and the same species; nevertheless, without doubting such good authorities, I have figured a well-known, but very different Brazilian bird under the latter title, and reserved the former for the present species; which course I know to be correct, as I possess the identical specimen from which Lesson’s figure and description were taken. This illustration has been restored to its original vibrancy by enhancing colors and removing unwanted marks. A monograph of the Trochilidæ, or family of humming-birds was published between 1849 and 1887 by English ornithologist John Gould. This monumental work depicts and describes all the known species of hummingbirds at the time - comprising 418 lithographic plates and information on 537 species."
