Remark*. The type of Attila iin'.vi<->tH* is from the coast forests of 

 Tabasco and is the most strongly rufous of any species of the genus 

 known north of Panama. A specimen in our collection from Metlalto- 

 yuca. Puebla, is equally large but is more like A. citreopygiits in general 

 appearance and probably represents a subspecies of .1. mexicamis. A 

 specimen from Palenque. Chiapas, is very near to typical A. ntreopy- 

 f/in* in si/e and color. Two males of the latter species in the National 

 Museum from the Escondido River. Nicaragua, measure as follows viz.: 

 No. 128,332: Wing 92: tail 72: culmen 20: tarsus 21. No. 128.333: Wing
