Sclater, aud iu recognition of his extensive contributions to Neo- 

 tropical ornithology. 



The type is Sitta ncBvia Gmelin; aud the list of species is as 

 follows : 



Sclateria ncevia (Gmeliu). 



Sdateria leucostigma (Pelzelu). 



Sclateria saturata (Salviu). 



Sclateria argentata (Des Murs). 



Sclateria hypoleuca (Ridgway). 



HOMORTJS Reichenbach. 



The generic name Homorus Reichenbach^ is rendered untenable 

 by Homorus Albers,'* a genus of Mollusca. The ouly other name 

 for this group is Pseudoseimra Reichenbach/ of which the type is 

 Anahates gutteralis d'Orbigny and Lafresnaye 



The species are 



Psexuloseisura lojjhotes (Reichenbach). 



Pseudoseisura giMeralis (d'Orbigny and Lafresnaye). 



Pseudoseisura cristata (Spix). 



Pseudoseisura galathece (Leverkiihn). 



LIMNOPHYES Sclater. 



The genus lAmnophyes Sclater^ is preoccupied in Diptera by 

 Limnophyes Eaton," and may be called Thryolegtis, from dpuov, 

 juncus, and Uyw, lego. The type and only species is Livmornis 

 eurvirostris Gould, which will therefore stand as 



Thryolegus eurvirostris (Gould). 



OXYURUS Swainson. 



The usual reference to this name is Zoological Journal, iii, 1827, 

 p. 354, though here is nothing but a nomen nudum, no species 

 being mentioned. The correct citation seems to be Classification of 

 Birds, ii, 1838, p. 313. Oxyurus is, however, untenable in orni- 

 thology, by reason of Oxyurus Rafinesque" for a genus of fishes. 

 No other name being available, it may be known as Aphrastura,
