28. PHGENICOTHRAUPIS. 



Type. 

 Phoeuicothraupis, Cab. Mas. Ilein. i. p. 24 (18-50) P. rubica. 



Of the nine species of this genus as here recognized, eight aro 

 closely similar in plumage and in structure to the typical form, and 

 represent each other in various parts of the Neotropical Region 

 from Southern Mexico to Brazil and Paraguay, their areas in some 

 cases apparently overlapping. The ninth (a Colombian species) is 

 of a generally blackish plumage, but betrays its alliance by its rosy 

 throat. 



In structure Phanicothraupis is not far from Pi/ranf/a, but has 

 a more conical bill and elongated tail. The gonys is slightly in- 

 curved. The commissure is a little inflexed, but the median tooth 

 is obsolete.
