RHAMPHOCGLUS.—PHLOGOTHRAUPIS. 285 
species. Salvin once found in a collection of Guatemalan birds what he believed 
to be a second example of this bird, but it was not to be obtained, and has since 
passed out of sight. a 
We are quite ignorant to what part of Guatemala this fine species belongs, and the 
fact of its not occurring in the large collections made in that country shows that it, 
like Calliste cabanisi, must inhabit a limited district seldom if ever visited by native 
collectors. 
Lesson’s name, 2. affinis, may belong to this species. The habitat of this bird was 
first stated to be Mexico 3, but afterwards Colombia‘. 
The species is a very distinct one, as the figure now given of the type, in Mr. Sclater’s 
collection, will show. 
Notzt.—Rhamphocelus nigrigularis of the region of the upper Amazons has been 
mentioned by Bonaparte (Consp. Av. i. p. 242) as occurring in Mexico, an obvious 
error. 
PHLOGOTHRAUPIS. 
Phlogothraupis, Sclater & Salvin, Nomencl. Av. Neotr. p. 155 (1873). (Type Tanagra sanguino- 
lenta, Lesson.) 
The single species contained in this genus was for a long time placed in Rhampho- 
celus, with which it has much in common. The structure of the bill, however, 
walrants its separation, as it has none of the peculiar swelling towards the base of the 
mandible, which is so marked a feature in Rhamphocelus. 'The sexes, too, in Phlogo- 
thraupis are coloured exactly alike, and this is not so in the allied genus. 
The range of P. sanguinolenta, as will be seen below, is restricted to Central America 
and Southern Mexico. The form is, however, absent from the State of Panama.
