Ridgway New Genera of Tyrannidss, Pipridae, Cotingidse.. 209 



Tyrannopsis gen. nov. (Tyrannidse} 



Similar to Tyrannus Cuvier, but tip of outermost primaries not attenuate 

 tail relatively shorter (shorter than distance from bend of wing to end of 

 secondaries), and nostril much nearer to commissure than to culmen, over 

 hung by a very broad membrane. Differing from Myiozeta Bonaparte (to 

 which commonly referred) in relatively much larger and stouter bill, shorter 

 and more rounded wing, shorter tail, and shorter tarsus (the latter shorter 

 than middle toe, with claw). 



Type, Muscicapa sulphured Spix = Tyrannopsis sulphureus. 



(Tyrannus -f ft/as, appearance.) 



Tolmarchus gen. nov. (Tyrannidse.} 



Similar in general structure to Pilangus Swairison, but bill broader and 

 more depressed (its width at posterior end of nostril equal to more than 

 half the distance from nostril to tip of maxilla and one and a half times 

 its depth at same point), longer gonys (very nearly to more than twice as 

 long as mandibular rami), longer tail (much more than four-fifths as long 

 as wing), much longer tenth (outermost) primary (longer than fourth in 

 stead of equal to or shorter than first), more exposed nostrils, more scant 

 and conspicuously bristly latero-frontal feathers, longer rictal bristles, and 

 very different style of coloration (under parts grayish white, instead of 

 bright yellow, no white superciliary stripe, etc.). 



Type, Pitangus toylori Sclater. 



(T6X/xa, bold, daring ; apx^, & ruler, a chief, or leader.) 



Species: Tolmarchus bahamensis (Bryant), Tolmarchus caudifasciatus 

 (D'Orbigny), Tolmarchus jamaicensis (Chapman), Tolmarchus caymanensis 

 (Nicoll), Tolmarchus gabbi (Lawrence), Tolmarchus taylori (Sclater). 

 Phaeotriccus gen. nov. ( Tyrannidse.} 



Apparently nearest to Knipolegus Boie, but differing conspicuously (from 

 all other genera of Tyrannidse also) in the form of the wing, which has the 

 primaries and distal secondaries much abbreviated, the former all very 

 narrow, the five outermost bent or subfalcate; seventh primary longest, 

 the tenth (outermost) shorter than first. 



Type, Cnipolegus hudsoni Sclater = Phseotriccus hudsoni. 



($cu6s, dusky ; -rpiKKos, a small bird.) 



Allocotopterus gen. nov. (Pipridse.) ' 



Most like Machssropterus Bonaparte, but shafts of secondaries excessively 

 thickened, twisted, and expanded terminally into club-shaped or claw-like 

 form ; outermost primaries normally broad throughout; tail less than one- 

 third as long as wing, emarginate; nostril small, very broadly operculate, 

 the membrane occupying much the greater part of nasal fossae ; under parts 

 not striped. 



Type, Pipra deliciosa Sclater = Allocotopterus deliciosus. 



('AXX6KOTOS, unusual ; irrepbv, wing.) 



Stictornis gen. nov. ( Cotingidx.} 



Most like Euchlornis DeFilippi (= Pipreolo Sclater, nee Swainson?), but 

 bill much larger, stronger, and deeper, with culmen more strongly arched
