Eiihordeta flannnea Jordan {necjiuminriis B.-Baker, I'JIO), Nuv. Zool. xviii. p. 698. no. 3 (1911). 



I propose the above name for the species called by uis flammea. When 

 publishing that name I entirely overlooked that there was already & flammeiis in the 

 genus, though mentioned by me on p. 597, I.e.
