FORMICIVORA ERYTHROCERCA. 



<$ . Pileo nigro, loris et superciliis elongatis albis : dorso supe- 

 riore griseo nigro variegato : interscapulii plumis ad basin 

 albis : dorso postico ferrugineo : alis extus et cauda tota satu- 

 rate rujis : alarum tectricibus superioribus nigris albo termi- 

 natis : subtus grisescenti-alba, nigro variegata, ventre cum 

 lateribus et crisso ferrugineis ; rostro brunnescente, pedibus

 Hab. Brazil? 

 Mus. Dom. Eyton. 



A single specimen of this apparently distinct species has been 

 kindly lent to me by Mr. Eyton. The colouring of the upper sur- 

 face resembles F. ferruginea and F. Gencei, but it is easily distin- 

 guishable by its pure rufous tail.

<? . Cinerascenti-nigra, subtus nigra; macula interscapulii celata, 

 tectricum alarium marginibus, remigum basi interiore et caudce 

 rectricum omnium apicibus albis : rostri nigri mandibula infe~ 

 riore albicante : pedibus nigris. 

 Long, tota 5 '5, alse 2*4, caudse 2*5. 

 Hab. New Granada, S. Martha (Verreaux) ; Bogota. 

 Mus. Brit., P. L. S. 



I received specimens of this bird from MM. Verreaux, labeled 

 " F. melanaria." But that species seems to be " coal-black" above, 

 and is from a very different zoological region. I therefore doubt 

 their identity. 



Pyriglena maculicaudis. 



<? . Atra : campterio, tectricum alarium apicibus, macula dor si 

 celata et caudce rectricum apicibus albis : rostro et pedibus nigris. 



Long, tota 5*5, alse 2*7, caudee 2*5. 



Hab. Trinidad. 



Mus. P. L. S. 



I have two specimens of this apparently unnamed Pyriglena in my 

 own collection. It is distinguishable from P. atra, cllisiana, and serva, 

 by the white terminations of the tail-feathers. The bill is rather 

 broader and stouter than in the typical species.
