Abeille’s Flutterer (Myiabeillia typica), John Gould “This species,” says M. De Lattre, usually confines itself to the forests, but also seeks its food among the wild flowers in the vicinity of Jalapa. Its flight is airy and buoyant, not unlike that of some of the moths. In its habits it is very unsociable, and the least thing alarms it.” 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."
