Furnaricola niirandae Carriker, 1963, Mem. Soc. Cien. Nat. La Salle, Caracas, 

 Venezuela, vol. 2.3, p. 30, pi. 10 (fig. 2). 



Host: Synallaxis unirufa castanea Sclater (Carriker type no. 680). 



Most closely related to F. acutifrons Carriker, differing in wider 

 frons and anterior plate, the latter not extending beyond tips of pre- 

 antennary carinae; a hyaline band, concave medially, around frons; 

 pterothorax with lateral margins convex and strongly divergent 

 (very slightly in acutifrons); ventral portion of pleurites wider and 

 more deeply colored than dorsal. 



Body much shorter than in acutifrons, but head nearly the same size. 

 Known from a single female, the holotype (body, 1.50X.46; head, 

 .456 X. 38). (See figure 5a for spines and setae on segment VIII.)
