from Para. An actual comparison with the type of that species is not quite 

 decisive, as the latter is in much-worn plumage. We must therefore wait for 

 additional specimens from Para to see if the differences pointed out as above are 

 constant or not. As far as we can judge at present S. orenocemis is to be dis- 

 tinguished b}' possessing longer wings and tail, and b)' having as a rule the lower 

 throat and upper breast suffused with fulvous, this suifusion being, however, 

 absent on the male from Munduapo, and hardly visible in a male from Caicara 

 (11046). S. orenocensis is not (juite a typical member of the genus Serpophaya, 

 being also somewhat allied to Capsiempis, and at the same time to Stiymatura 

 Scl. & Salv. From Capsiempis flaveola it differs by its narrower bill and the 

 softer rictal bristles, which are very stiif in that species.

♦ Berlepsch having inspected the specimen of " Myitipatis incmuscem " in the Museum Heineanum, 

 has satisfied himself that it is = Ornitldon cineranceiu (Wied), olim 0. imierbe Scl. The other species 

 enumerated by Cahanis & Heine,— viz. M. ohuileta and ,)/. punlla—&\so belong to the genus Ornithion 

 Hartl., of which Myiopatis Cab. & Heine thus becomes a synonym. Therefore Myiopatis cannot be used 

 for Ph. incomta and allies, for which Berlepsch proposes the new appellation Phaeomyiai Berl.
