Type. 

 Ileteropelma, Bp. Consp. Vol. Anisod. p. 4 (1854) .... H. turdinum. 



Heteropelma, with its nine species, has a wide range from S. 

 Mexico to Brazil, being confined everywhere to the dense forests. 

 The first five species are all representative forms of one type, re- 

 markable for their nearly uniform brownish-olive coloration : the 

 sixth is also of uniform plumage, but with a predominance of green 

 and smaller in size. The last three mimic the Tyrannidce as regards 

 their half-concealed head-spot, but show the Piprine structure in 

 their feet.
