Genus SERICOBITIS. 



Sericornis Gtould, Synops. Birds Austr. pt. iv. pi. 58. 1838. 



Type (by orig. desig.) : S. frontalis (Vigors and Horsfield). 



Note. — There seems to be no valid reason for the retention of the "genera" 

 Acanthornis and Oreoscopus, which I have eliminated, as well as Pyrrholaemua. 

 To those who wonld retain the above as distinct from Sericornis I would recommend 

 the nse of Neosericornis (nov.) for Muscicapa latJiami Stepliens and Tasmanornis 

 (nov.) for Sericornis humilis Gould, as these species ditfer more from the type of 

 Sericornis, S. frontalis Vigors and Horsfield, than do the types of Acanthornis or 

 Pyrrliolaemus.
