Cercomacra at all. His measurements, " quatre ponces et demi de longueur tutale,"' 

 correspond with those given by him for Mi/r moth era cinnjianella (= Uijj)Ociieniiis 

 rantatoi), which is a much smaller bird than any of the Cercomacra species in 

 question. Most probably Vieillot had some species of Miirmothcrnla before him, 

 and under these circumstances it seems to me the only way to drop the name 

 caerulesceus altogether. In any case, it is not applicable to the long-tailed 

 Cercomacra of 8.E. Rra/.il, lor which accordingly I pnipose the new name 

 C. brasi liana. 



The fnll synonymy of jiU species of Cercomacra will be given in a special 

 paper which 1 hope to publish shortly.

Iris marked by the collector as "grenat" in the males, " rouge vif" in the 

 female ; bill and feet " noir " in the males, " gris bleu " in the female, the feet 

 darker, more blackish. 



The female collected by Robert, as well as another from the collection of 

 Professor Steere, agree with the type of the species (Mus. Munich) in having no 

 trace of a pale supraloral streak, this region being uniform blackish grey. The 

 upper surface is dull rufous-brown, and the feathers of the interscapulium are 

 broadly white at the base, this colour being followed by a distinct blackish sub- 

 terminal bar, as is the case in Spix's type. 



The female of P. leuronota maara (Men^tr.) from Central Brazil ditfers at a 

 glance by having a very well-marked whitisli supraloral strijie and the back of 

 a paler, more reddish olive-brown colonr. Tiie forms of I'/jriylcua will be more 

 fully discussed in my tbrthcoming paper on the types of Spix.
