-■(Only three true species of i«wzo are yett known. The present bird 

 appears to me to be best placed in this genus, although, in some 

 respects, it differs a little from the other species. It is distinguished 

 from these by a different coloration, and is especially remarkable 

 from the superciliary streaks, which are white at their origin near the 

 nostrils, become fiery-red on a level with the eyes, and extend back- 

 wards at the sides of the nape in the form of little tufts of somewhat 

 elongated plumes, which the bird probably elevates at pleasure.

^; This species, a native of Columbia, has somewhat the colour and 

 iform oi Arremon ruhrirostris, Lafr., by the side of which, it appears 

 to me that it should be placed. It is larger and more robust, and 

 U§ head is adorned with a crest. ., r.^,., w .. ,

 ^ ■ This species, which I believe to be new, comes^fifdttl Columbia and 

 Peru. It has all the characters of a well-circumscribed small group 

 of birds inhabiting those countries, including Ari'emon sckistace^is, 

 pallidinuchus and albqfrenahts, Briss., and A. gutturalis, Lafr., as 

 well as Emberna(/ra rufinucha and albinuchciy D'Orb. It will there- 

 fore form the seventh species * of this group, and is positively distinct 

 from all the other,s, although it presents a good deal of resemblance 

 to some of them, especially the A. pallidinuchus^ Briss., and the 

 E. rvfinucha,WOxh. ,, . . ,• 



Its particular distinction from the latter is the absence of the black 

 streak on the sides of the throat at the base of the upper mandible. 

 It differs from the first especially in having the red of the top of the 



* All the species ab6ilFe inentidned axe #ell ktlGwn to tne. But I regret 

 that I have not been able to jiroeure the Atlapetes pileatus, Wagl., the type 

 of its genus, and the A. rubricatus, Cab., which I have never seen, and 

 which, although natives of Mexico, would appear to belong to the same 

 genus as the seven species here indicated. If this be the case, the genus 

 Atlapetes would now consist of these nine species. ■•■'^nh
