IlETEROCNEMtS ALBIGULARIS. 



Brunnescenti-olivaceus, plumis omnibus nigro obsolete marginatiti, 

 alis caudaque nigricantibus ; fascia alarum duplici alba : sub' 

 tus pallide cinerascens, gutture albo, ventre nigricante trans- 

 versim lineato : rostro nigro, mandibuloe inferioris basi albido : 

 pedibus fuscis. 



Long, tota 4*2, alee 2*35, caudae 0*9, rostri a rictu 0*9, tarsi 1*0. 



Obs. — Affinis H. Bamblce ex Cayenna, sed crassitie paulo majore, 

 rostro longiore et gula alba dignoscenda. 



CONOPOPHAGA TORRIDA. 



Clare brunnescenti-olivacea, dorsi plumis nigro partim variegatis ; 

 capite supra, alis et cauda ferruginescenti-brunneis : tectricibus 

 alarum et secundariis extus macula apicali falvo-fiamda orna- 

 tis : plumarum fasciculo postoculari albo : subtus clare ferru- 

 ginea, gula et ventre medio albicantibus, hypochondriis et ventre 

 imo magisfulvis : mandibula superior e nigra, inferior e cornea : 

 pedibus pallidis. 

 Long, tota 4*6, alse 2*8, caudse 1-2, tarsi TO. 

 M. Verreaux's collection contained a single specimen of this ap- 

 parently new Conopophaga, not in very good plumage. A more 

 perfect example in the British Museum, which is from Chamicurros 

 in Eastern Peru, has furnished my specific characters. 



This is a typical species of the genus somewhat allied to C. lineata 

 of South-eastern Brazil. 



Grallaria flavirostris. 



Brunnescenti-olivacea, loris et capitis lateribus rufescentibus : 

 subtus alba, pectoris medii et lateralis plumis pallide rufis, 

 utrinque nigro late limbatis, quasi squamatis ; gidce laterum 

 plumis rufo tinctis, fascia nigricante intus marginatis ; tec- 

 tricibus subalaribus pallide rufis ; rostro flavo ; pedibus clare 

 brunneis. 

 Long, tota 4*2, alse 2*7, caudee 1*1, tarsi 0*9, rostri a rictu 0'7. 

 This diminutive Grallaria is very like the Venezuelan bird which 

 I described in the Proceedings for last year (P. Z. S. 1857, p. 129) 

 under the name of G. loricata. Like that, it has a pectoral band 

 formed by the black margins of the pale rufous feathers ; but in the 

 present species the band is much narrower, and the head is not 

 chestnut. 



Grallaria fulviventris. 



Olivaceo-brunnea, pileo obscuriore, alis extus magis rufescentibus, 

 loris albidis : subtus gula et abdomine medio albis, pectore, 

 ventris lateribus et crisso cum tectricibus alarum inferioribus 

 saturate fulvis, pectore lineis quibusdam nigris variegato : 

 rostro superiore nigro, inferiore, nisi apice, flavo: pedibus 

 pallide brunneis. 



Long, tota 5' 5, aloe 3*2, caudse 1*4, tarsi 1*5, rostri a rictu 0'95. 



This Grallaria seems to belong to a species distinct from anything
