172 XOVITATES ZOOI.OGICAE XXI. 11)14. 



The type of if. iiriclii agrees perfectly with No. 3, having the under ])arts of 

 the same bright yellow tiuge, and the upper throat but slightly mixed with 

 whitish. The u])j)er surface is dull green, the forehead consjiicnously ashy ; 

 the feathers of the crown are edged with ashy, the wing-bands pale yellow. 

 No. 2 is somewhat paler yellow underneath, the throat mainly whitish, and the 

 foreneck also whitish, but flammulated with pale yellowish. 



There can be no doulit that M. urichi and P. venezuelensis are specitically 

 identical, the types having been obtained iu practically the same district. 



This species has no near relation to Mecocerculus, but belongs to that section 

 of the old genns Fhi/llomi/ias for which Count Berlepsch * provided the new term 

 Xanthonv/idii. I consider this group a very natural one, differing from Phyllomyius 

 (sensu strict.) by its much narrower, higher (less dilated and depressed) bill with 

 strongly convex culmen.f It consists of the following species (or races) : 



(a) A', virescens (Temm.) S.E. Brazil (Espiritu Santo, Minas Geraes, Uio dc 

 Janeiro, S. Paulo, Parana) and Paraguay, t 



(b) X. reiseri (Hellm.) § N.E. Brazil : Piauhy. 



(c) X. urichi (Chapm.) N.E. Venezufla : mountains south-east of ('umana, 

 state of Bermudez. 



{d) X. sclateri (Berl.)ll N. and E. Bolivia; N.W. Argentina (Tucuman, Jujuy).! 



The three first-named are very nearly related, and may be only races of 

 a single species. X. sclateri differs more conspicuously by its pure white throat 

 and middle of the abdomen, not to mention several minor characters.

^ Besides three Bolivian specimens in Count Berlepsch 's collection I have cxaiinned an adult female, 

 obtained at Cafetal, Jujuy, by L. Dinelli, in the Munich Museum, and an adult male from Tucuman, 

 belonging to the private collection of Sefior Miguel billo, of Tucuman. 

 ** It is at the same time the type of Ph. salvadorii Dubois.
