28. CiENOTKICCUS * 



Under this term, I propose to isolate the peculiar Todirostrum 

 ruficeps of Lafrcsnaye, which has been referred to several widely 

 different genera, without receiving an appropriate abiding-place. 

 Its long smooth tarsi show an affinity to the Todirostrine group, 

 where I will place it for the present. Ccenotriccus is mostly found 

 in Bogota collections, but was obtained by Buckley in Eastern 

 Ecuador.
