43. CHXOROSPINGTJS. 247 



Clilorospinj^us nigrifrons, Lmvr. Ibis, 1875, p. 384 ; Bed. et Tacz. 



P. Z. S. 1884, p. 290. 

 Chlorosping-us superciliaris nigrifrons, Berl. et Tacz. P. Z. 8. 1885, 



p. 81. 



Above olive-green ; front half of cap and side.s of head cinereous ; 

 superciliary stripe white : below yellow ; bill plumbeous ; feet pale 

 brown : whole length 5-3 inches, wing 2-9, tail 2-5. Female 

 similar. 



Hob. Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. 



In Western Ecuador specimens present a darker forehead and sides 

 of the head (C. nif/rifi-ons, Lawrence). But it is in some cases 

 difficult to say to which form a specimen should be referred, and I 

 think it is better to regard this as a case of subspecies. 



22. Chlorospingus reyi. 



Chlorospingus reyi, Berlepsch, Ibis, 1885, p. 288. 



Above olive ; cap cinereous : below yellow ; flanks olivascent ; 

 under wing-coverts yellowish ; beak plumbeous ; feet pale brown : 

 whole length (about) 5-5 inches, wing 2"7. 



Hab. Merida, Venezuela. 



Nearest to C. sujyerciliaris, but without any white superciliaries. 

 A single, not quite perfect, skin is in Graf v. Berlepsch's collection : 

 I am greatly indebted to him for the loan of it.
