 South American liirrls are less dark and should be called ijramitina. A still paler

* Peristera is preoccupied. 



f Berlepsch accepts this name because there is already a Ctdnmha .•itjutrmnsn- of Bonn.iterre (1790) 

 prinr to Temminck's C'dtniiba xt/ no i/wsa of 1811. Ilnrtert, of course, would accept Sf/iatmn.m for the 

 Scardafella, as the other ^qvavto^a belongs to a widely tlifferent genus.
