throat; exposed surface of closed ^vings, and the broad fuscous tips of 

 the wing-quills darker; upper surface of the shafts of the rectrices 

 mostly deep brownish-black, instead of reddish-bro^ii, the fourth and 

 fifth pair of tail feathers with a large blackish terminal area on the 

 inner webs; mandible (in skin) less yellowish; lining of wing paler. 



Geographical Distribution. — Southeastern Brazil. 



Description. — Type, adult, No. 177,707, U. S. N. M., Bauru, Rio Feio, 

 Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1901 ; E. Garbe. 



Upper surface rufescent olive-brown, the rump decidedly paler, the 

 longest superior tail-coverts chestnut, the feathers of pileum with tawny 

 ochraeeous shaft streaks which are most conspicuous anteriorly; tail 

 chestnut, the upper surface of the shafts brownish-black, the fifth pair 

 of tail feathers, counting from the outside, having the inner webs 

 broadly tipped with blackish, the same existing though to a less degree 

 on the fourth pair; inner webs of wing-quills basally chestnut, paler on 

 their margins; outer webs of primaries and broad terminal portions 

 on both vanes of primaries and secondaries fuscous, these tips largest on 

 the primaries, more narrow and confined largely to the inner webs on 

 the secondaries, almost absent on the tertials; remaining portions of 

 exterior webs of secondaries reddish olive-bro\\'n ; upper wing-coverts 

 olive-brown like the back, though rather darker and duller; lores dull 

 grayish-brown, with buffy shaft streaks; cheeks and auriculars of 

 similar color, but somewhat darker and more rufescent, with buffy 

 shaft lines, these most conspicuous on the auriculars; sides of neck 

 like the back, but lighter and somewhat more grayish; chin wood- 

 brown; under tail-coverts light chestnut; remainder of lower parts 

 raw-umber brown, more grayish on the breast, lighter on the throat, 

 the feathers of which have buffy shafts; color of the throat passing 

 gradually into that of the paler chin and the darker sides of the head; 

 lining of wing ochraceous-buff. Wing, 106 ; tail, 87; exposed culmen, 

 22; tarsus, 24; middle toe, 17. 



In a considerable series of typical Dendrocincla turdina, exhibiting 

 the usual amount of individual variation in depth and shade of color 

 to which members of this genus are commonly subject, there is no 

 specimen that can be considered intermediate between turdina and 

 enalincia. In view of this, as well as of the fact that in Dendrocincla 

 perfectly distinct species are often very much alike, enalincia, on ac- 

 count of its decided characters, has here been given full specific rank, 

 although it may in time prove to be but the southern subspecific 

 representative of D. turdina.
