and we propose to call it Tanagra aurea cynophora Nobis. With this 

 change the forms of Tanagra aurea will stand as follows: 



Tanagra aurea aurea (Pallas). 



Tanagra aurea violaceicollis (Cabanis). 



Tanagra aurea cynophora Oberholser. 



Euphonia violacea magna Berlepsch. 



The transference of the generic name Tanagra to Euphonia violacea 

 magna Berlepsch* renders this snbspecific name untenable on account of 

 the prior Tanagra magna Gmelin, f which is now Saltator magnus (Gmelin). 

 Since Euphonia violacea magna Berlepsch must therefore be renamed, 

 it may be known as Tanagra violacea pampolla, nom nov. The forms of 

 Tanagra violacea are as follows: 



Tanagra violacea violacea (Linnaeus). 



Tanagra violacea aurantiicollis (Bertoni). 



Tanagra violacea pampolla Oberholser. 



Euphonia laniirostris peruviana Berlepsch and Stolzmann. 



Since Euphonia laniirostris peruviana Berlepsch and Stolzmann* 

 must have Tanagra for its generic name, it must also have a new sub- 

 specific term, as in the combination Tanagra laniirostris peruviana it is 

 ineligible on account of Tanagra peruviana Desmarest^, which is now 

 Tangara peruviana (Desmarest), the species formerly called Calospiza 

 melanota (Swainson). As no subspecific name is now found available for 

 Euphonia laniirostris peruviana Berlepsch and Stolzmann, it may be 

 called Tanagra laniirostris zopholega, nom. nov. The forms of this 

 species are as follows: 



Tanagra laniirostris laniirostris (D'Orbigny and Lafresnaye). 



Tanagra laniirostris zopholega Oberholser. 



Euphonia olivacea Desmarest. 



The Euphonia olivacea of Demarest,|| when used in combination with 

 the generic name Tanagra, is preoccupied by Tanagra olivacea Gmelin,? 

 which is probably the same as Piranga erythromelas (Vieillot). The 

 proper name for the species will therefore become Tanagra minuta 

 (Cabanis).**
