 (1841) ; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 46, 1864, p. 176 (Mexico), et 1866,

Pyrocephalus rubineus obscurus, Taez. Orn. Per. ii. p. 311. 



Myiarchus atropurpureus, Cab. in Tsch. F. P., Aves, p. 156 (1845). 



Of a uniform dark cinereous, with occasional slight points of 

 scarlet in some specimens ; belly slightly stained with rosaceous : 

 whole length 5"5 inches, wing 2-9, tail 2 - 3. Female similar, but 

 not so dark. 



Hah. Western Peru. 



I should have been inclined to consider this bird only a dark 

 variety of P. rubineus, but such is not the opinion of those who 

 have met with it in a state of nature (cf. Jelski, in Tacz. Orn. Per. 

 ii. p. 312). I think there may have been some mistake about 

 the locality of the single specimen said to be from Mexico.
