2. CHLOROPIPO. 



Type. 

 Chloropipo, Cab. et Hein. Mm. Hein. ii. p. 90 (1859).. C. flavicapilla. 



This genus was founded by Cabanis and Heine for Pipra flavi- 

 capilla of Colombia, which has the billot' a typical Pipra, but differs 

 trotn that genus in its much elongated wings and long tail. With 

 this may be associated for the present two species from Guiana and 

 Amazonia, of nearly uniform green colour in both sexes, con- 

 corning which there is still much to be learned.
