t 147. Ramphocelus chrysopterus Bouc. = Ratnpkocelus chrysonotus. 



Ramphocelus chrysopterus Boucard, Humming Bird, i. p. 53 (July 1891—" State of Panama, Co- 

 lumbia "). 



Type (or cotypes, the author having had two specimens, both in tlie Tring 

 Museum, both marked by the author " typical specimen ") : <J, Panama. Bought 

 from A. Boucard 1891. 



The name seems to suggest that there is yellow on the wings, but probably 

 Boucard meant to say " chrysonotus," because of the yellow lower back, or to 

 coin a name meaning golden-rumped. The lower back and rump as well as 

 nearly all upper tail-coverts are golden orange-yellow, all the rest of the plumage 

 black. In chrysonotus the rump varies from deep orange-red to orange -yellow. 



14£. Buthraupis rothschildi Berl. = Buthraupis rolhschildi. 

 Buthraupis rothschildi Berlepsch, Bull. B.O. Club, vii. p. iii. (Oct. 1897— CachaW, Ecuador). 



Type : cJ ad., Cachabe (Cachabi, Cachave), North Ecuador, 500 ft.,

149. Calliste mexicana media Berl. & Hart. = Calliste mexicana media. 

 GdUiste mexicana media Berlepsch & Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1902. p. 19 (Orinoco region o£ Venezuela), 



Type : <S ad., Maipures, River Orinoco, 12. xii. 1898. George K. and Stella 

 Cherrie leg. No. 11,451. 



(Though the difference of one letter is quite sufficient to distinguish two 

 names, in this case Calliste Boie 1826 has been considered preoccupied by Callista 

 Pali 1791, by American authors, because the two words are only different Latin 

 renderings of the Greek KaWL<;Tr]. Thus Calospiza Gray has been used, but it 

 seems to be that American authors now more correctly use the name Tangara). 



150. Tangara aurulenta goodsoni Hart. = Calliste aurulenta goodsoni. 

 Tangara aurulenta goodsoni Hartert, Bull. B.O. Club, xxxi i i . p. 78 (Dec. 1913— W. Ecuador). 



Type : 3 ad., Gualea, W. Ecuador, August 1898. Walter Goodfellow and 

 Hamilton leg. 



(Chapman, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist, xxxiii. p. 188, 1914 ; Dist. Bird-life 

 Colombia, p. 595, 1917, described another race which he called Tangara aurulenta 

 occidentalis, from the subtropical zone of the western Andes. This race appears 

 to be quite recognizable, but two of our " Bogota " trade-skins agree well with 

 goodsoni, except in having a somewhat small bill. I doubt, however, if the size 

 of the bill is constant enough to serve as distinguishing any of these forms.) ^ ^

 CaUiste johannae Dalmas, BuU. B.O. Club, xi. p. 36 (December 1900—" El Paillon," near Buena-
