* I have lately seen the type specimen o^ Aedoti paammochroa, Reiclien. Om. 

 Centralbl. 1879, p. 1.39, et J. f. O. 1879, p. 35.5 ; and convinced myself that 

 it is not an Erythropygia, but an allied form of the Aedon galactodes group, 

 apparently A. famUiaris (cf. Sharps, J. f. O. 1882, p. 345).
