The adult male collected by Mous. Baer and two others in the Vienna Mnseum, 

 obtained by Natterer near the city of Goyaz, agree perfectly with a series from 

 the Rio Parang (Natterer), Kio Paranapanema(Hempel), and Piauhy (Wachsmnnd). 

 Specimens from Bahia seem to be rather smaller, but a larger series should be 

 examined. 



iV. i/uira is divisible in several more or less well-defined geographic forms. 



20. Lamprotes loricatus (Lcht.). 



Tanagra loricata Lichtenstein, Verz. Dtthl. Berliner Miis. p. 31 (1823. — part.: •'(J" = ?. — 

 " Brazil "). 



No. 2403. J ad., Rio Araguaya, 55U m., August 1906.— AVing 115; tail 85 ; 

 biU 20 mm. 



In this specimen only the middle of the throat and foreneck are bright 

 scarlet, while in a Bahia skin the chest is also of this colour. 



L. loricatt/g is a scarce species, and its range still very imperfectly known. 

 So far as I know, it is now for the first time recorded from Goyaz. Spix * 

 obtained it between Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, Wied f says that it is rather 

 common in the sertfio of the interior of the state of Bahia near Ressaque, on the 

 confines of the Uampos Geraes. It is not unfreqnently met with in the trade 

 collections shipped from Bahia.

They agree best with specimens from Para (cf. Nov. Zool. xiii. 1906. p. 358), 

 while others from Cayenne and British Gniana have the black jngnlar band rather 

 broader. A series of adult males from Bahia, however, does not materially ditfer 

 from northern examples except that the cinereous colour on the belly is generally 

 more extended.
