Pyrrhura molinee australis subsp. nov. 



Similar to Pyrrhura molinse molinse (Massena and Souance), but gen- 

 eral coloration decidedly deeper ; pileum and nape darker ( nearer fuscous 

 than sepia), and sides of the head and neck correspondingly darker; 

 throat and breast darker, less bufFy, with the paler feather-edgings nar- 

 rower; abdomen more extensively red; and under tail-coverts scarcely 

 or not tinged with blue. 



Type, No. 45,895, Collection Carnegie Museum, adult (not sexed); 

 Rio Bermejo, Argentina, May 23, 1914; Jose Steinbach. 



Penelope speciosa sp. nov. 



Most nearly related to Penelope jacqua(;u Spix, from which it differs in 

 having the cheek-stripe mainly cinereous (instead of dusky brown), the 

 upper wing-coverts broadly edged with white, and in the feathers of the 

 crest being narrow, acuminate, and broadly edged with pale gray.
