IHylophUim thnrnckux Temm., PI. Col. 173. fig. 1 (Dec. 1829) (Bre'sil, coll. batterer).] 

 H. B. Ihoracirns dicto simillimus, differt abdomine pure albo-griseo nee fulvesvente lavato, colore 

 viridi pectoris obscuriore et angustiore nee ad latera corporis produeto, alis caudaque mnlto 

 brevioribus, rostro attamen longiore. Suapure : al. 665, caiid. 4G, culm 12^, tars. 18^ mm. 

 Habitat in Venezuela, Brit. Guiana et in Colombia (?). Typus in Mus. Tring ; cJ Suapure. 



Snapnre : c? ? 2. xi. 1899 (Klages). " Iris lighter orange yellow or orange, feet 

 pale purplish grey, bill, max. and top fif mand. brown, mand. shades off to nearly 

 white at base." 



The pair collected by Mr. Klages at ISnapnre, as well as specimens from British 

 Gniana (collected by Whitely), are different from a Rio specimen of trne //. tlionicicus 

 in Mns. H. v. B. by having the abdomen pure whitish ash without any fulvons tint, 

 in the green of the lireast being darker, less yellowish and more restricted, not 

 prolonged to the sides of the body, by the wings and tail being much shorter, the 

 bills on the contrary somewhat longer. A Bogota skin in Mus. Berlepsch seems to 

 belong to the same race, although it has the occiput much less suffused with greyish 

 and the under tail-coverts more mixed with yellowish. 



Mr. Gadow i^Cut. B. Brit. Mus. viii. p. 307) erroneously described the northern 

 form (viz. our thoracicus griseieentris) as true H. thoracicus Temm., and believed that 

 the southern race should be H. pectoralis Scl. This error has arisen from the fact 

 that Sclater in his original description o<l H. pectornlis in P.Z.S. 1866, p. 321, has 

 confounded the localities of //. thoracicus and //. pertondis (cf Pelz. Oni. Bras. 

 p. 711 Anm. 2).
