Hah. Cayenne, Venezuela, and Trinidad. 



Some of the Venezuelan specimens diverge towards Tli. pideliellus, 

 and I am now inclined to believe that the two skins (erroneously 

 stated to be from Chamicuros, E. Peru) upon which I founded Th. 

 leucauchen arc referable to this form of Th. cirrhatus (cf. v. Ber- 

 lepsch, Ibis, 1881, p. 245).
