340 FIELD MUSEUM or NATURAL HISTORY ORNITHOLOGY, VOL. I. 



Similar to 5. /. fuliginosa from Colombia, but differs in having the 

 under parts more gray and lacking the olive tinge, except on the flanks, 

 and the upper parts somewhat brighter and more rufescent than in that 

 species. Forehead with a slight grayish tinge; outer webs of outer 

 primaries paler and more rufescent, the rufous reaching the shaft of the 

 feather on at least the second and third (outer) primaries. Wing 

 averaging longer. 



Wing, 59; bill, ii ; tarsus, 24 mm. * 



Synallaxis cinnamomea cearensis subsp. nov. 



Type from Jua, near Iguatu, Ceara, Brazil. Adult male, No. 45624, 

 Field Museum of Natural History. Collected by R. H. Becker, July 31, 



Similar to 5. c. cinnamomea, but paler; upper parts decidedly lighter 

 rufous, and the tail, especially the under surface, much paler rufous. 

 Wing, 58; tail, 60; oilmen, 8 mm. 



Siptornis orbignii neglecta subsp. nov. 



Type from Macate, central Peru (alt. about 10,000 feet). Adult 

 male, No. 49111, Field Museum of Natural History. Collected by 

 M. P. Anderson, February 13, 1914. 



Approaches S. orbignii (Reich.) in having the crown like the back, 

 no black points on the throat, and in having the broad basal rufous 

 band on the secondaries; but differs in having the under parts more 

 grayish brown (less pale cinereous) and the patch on chin and upper 

 throat deep chestnut rufous (much darker and more chestnut rufous 

 than in either orbignii or ottonis), and the rufous on the upper tail 

 coverts, tail and wings is darker. 



Wing, 62; tail, 82; bill, 15 mm. 



Automolus leucophthalmus sulphurascens (Licht.). 



Five specimens from Rio das Velhas, Minas Geraes, Brazil, differ 

 from typical A. I. leucophthalmus (type in American Museum of Natural 

 History), while specimens from Bahia agree with the type. The type of 

 A. 1. leucophthalmus very likely came from Bahia and the Minas Geraes 

 specimens probably represent A. I. sulphurascens (Licht.), which should 

 be revived. They differ from specimens from Bahia in having the tail 

 and rump decidedly paler and much brighter rufous; the under wing 

 coverts are paler.
