proper is Timeliopsis Salvador!,^ of which the type is Tinieliopsis 

 trachycoma Salvadori (= E. griseigula Schlegel). 



The species will therefore stand as 



Timeliopsis griseigula (Schlegel). 



Timeliopsis griseigula flaviguh, (Schlegel). 



Timeliopsis fulvigula (Schlegel). 



Timeliopsis meyeri (Salvadori). 



Timeliopsis fulviventris (Ramsey). 



STICTOPTERA Reichenbach. 



The generic term Stictoptera Reichenbach" is untenable by reason 

 of Stictoptera Guenee," for a group of Lepidoptera, and may be 

 replaced by Stizoptera, from trrtCuj, noto, and Tzrepov, ala, the type 

 being Fringilla bichenovii Vigors and Horsfield. 



The species are 



Stizoptera bichenovii (Vigoiis and Horsfield). 



Stizoptera annulosa (Gould). 



CHERA Gray. 



The genus Ghera Gray* must give place to Chera Hiibner," 

 employed in Lepidoptera; and it may be called Diatropura, from 

 dcdrpoTzo?, differens, and onpd, cauda. The type and only species 

 is Emberiza procne Boddaert, which will now stand as 



Diatropura procne (Boddaert). 



ETJCORYSTES Sclater. 

 Eucorystes Sclater^ is preoccupied in Crustacea by Eucorystes 

 Bell.' In its stead may be used Zarhynchus, from ^d, valde, and 

 poyX^'i, rostrum ; the type and sole representative being Gacicus 

 wagleri Gray, which should now be called 

 Zarhynchiis wagleri (Gray).
