 than in Rhamphoccdus, and the terminal notch in the npper man- 

 dible more developed. The tail is short and rather squared.

y. TANAGRIN^ SETIROSTRES. 



Although there are bristles at the gape of all or nearly all the 

 Tanagritice, more or less manifest on close inspection, the rictal 

 setceare more developed in this section of the Tanagrime than in the 

 others. In Trichothravpis this is especially the case, as its name 

 indicates. The median notch of the upper mandible which pre- 

 vails in many genera is another sign that these birds much affect 

 an insect diet. 



The present section embraces 55 species of Tanagers, which I 

 refer to 11 genera. They are spread over the whole Tanagrine area 

 of the Neoti'opical Region, and four or five members of the genus 

 Pyranga have become more or less permanent denizens of the 

 Nearctic Region.
