HARPACTES Swainson. 



The generic term Harpaetes Swainson^ cannot be used because of 

 Harpades Templetou,^ a genus of Araclmida, as already noted by 

 Dr. C. W. Richmond,' and previously by Cal)anis/ The next 

 name, HapaJurus Reichenbach,^ is preoccupied by Ifapalura 

 Cabanis,* which is a synonym of Cidicivora ; and Duvaucelius 

 Bonaparte,' besides an uncertainty regarding the identity of the 

 type species, is untenable on account of Duuaueelia Desvoidy.* 

 This gives a clear title to Pyrotrogon Bonaparte,^ of which the type 

 is Trogon ardens Temmiuck. 



The species are 



Pyrotrogon diardli (Temmiuck), 



Pyrotrogon hasumha (Raffles). 



Pyrotrogon fasciatus ( Pennant) . 



Pyrotrogon ardens (Temmiuck). 



Pyrotrogon whiteheadi (Sharpe). 



Pyrotrogon erythrocephalus (Gould) 



Pyrotrogon erythrocephalus flag rans (Miiller). 



Pyrotrogon davaucelil (Temmiuck). 



Pyrotrogon orrhophceus (Cabanis). 



Pyrotrogon viduiis (Grant). 



Pyrotrogon oreskios (Temmiuck). 



Pyrotrogon diditensis (Grant). 



AMAZILIA Reicheiibach. 

 The name Amizilia Reichenbach" is not the earliest one for the 

 genus of humming-birds to which it has been applied, as the follow- 

 ing discussion will show. Lesson, in 1832," made use of the term 

 " Les Amazihs " as a popular heading for one of his groups, includ- 

 ing under this the species Ornismya amazili Less. ; indicating by 

 the manner of its use that he did not intend Amazilis as a generic
