Typus : 3 Caicara 21. iii. '98 (no. 10534 Cherrie coll.). 



This new species comes evidently nearest to Chaetura cinereicanda (Cass.), from 

 which it differs in the following points : 



The tail is nrach shorter, measuring only 30 to 32 instead of 43 to 45 mm. The 

 spines also are much shorter, being barely half as long. The crown of the head 

 and the back are deep smoky brown, instead of black with steel-blue gloss. The 

 entire breast and abdomen are mnch deeper smoky brown, while the throat is 

 somewhat lighter, thus producmg a dee]) contrast between those parts, while in 

 C. cinereicauda the uuder-surface is nearly uniform. 



More than two years ago the Triug Museum received from Mr. E. Andr^ 

 of Trinidad, a skin marked " ¥ ," which had been taken at San Felix, Cnmana, 

 Venezuela, by Mr. Caracciolo, and therefore we name this species in honour of Mr. 

 Andre.
