73. MYIOCHANES*. 



Type. 



Myiochanes, Cab. et Heine, Mus. Hein. ii. p. 71 (1859) . M. cinereus. 



This diminutive form comes also very near to the smaller species of 

 Contopus, particularly C. brachy tarsus. But the bill is smaller and 

 the wings are not quite so long. 



Myiochanes is found in Brazil and Ecuador.
