Genus ATTILA Lesson. 



Attila Lesson, Traite d'Orn., 1831, 360. (Type, A. brasiliensis Lesson.) 

 Dasycephala Swainson, Fauna Bor.-Am.,ii, 1831, 486. (Type, by elimination, 



Muscicapa spadicea Gmelin.) 

 Dasyopsis Reichenbach, Av. Syst. Nat., 1850, pL 66. (Type, Attila brasiliensis 



Lesson.) 



Medium-sized Cotingidae (wing about 80-105 mm.) with long, nar- 

 row, strongly uncinate, sometimes slightly recurved, bill, rather short 

 and mucli rounded wing, and tarsus more than one-fourth as long 

 as wing. 



Bill about as long as head, narrow, its depth at nostrils nnich less 

 than half as much as distance from nostril to tip of maxilla and about 

 equal to its width at same point; culmen straight or sometimes 



a One specimen, the type, said to be from Cartagena, Colombia, according to the 

 label, but the original description says "Venezuela." 



bWliat Elainea macilvaini Berlepsch and Hartert, Novit. Zool., ix, 1902, 44, from 

 Suapure, Venezuela, can be, I do not know. It certainly can not be E. macihainii of 

 Lawrence, which is without doubt a local form of E. gaimardii, differing only, so far 

 as I can see, in the decided yellow color of the crown patch, and hardly at all resem- 

 bling a specimen of ".B." (i. e., Myiopagis) caniceps (Swainson) in the U. S. National 

 ^luseum collection, from Sapucay, Paraguay, identified by Mr. Oberholser. 



c The label of the type specimen, however, says "Carthagena" (i. e., Cartagena, 

 Colombia) .
