Subfamily III. ATTILIN^E. 



This small group has heen variously referred to the Tyrannidce, 

 Formicariidae, and Cotingidce. Iu placing it iu the last-named 

 group I have followed Sundevall, but I am by no means sure of this 

 being its correct position. The stroug, hooked, and compressed bill 

 and the ambulatory feet seem to have little to do with the Cotingidce, 

 but the structure of the tarsi tends the other way. 



The Attilince range over the Neotropical Region from Southern 

 Mexico to Paraguay.

Type. 



Attila, Less. Traite cVOrn. p. 360 (1831) A. brasiliensis. 



Dasycephala, Sic. Fauna Bor.-Am., Aves,f. 486 (1831). A. spadiceus. 

 Dasyopsis, Reichenb. An. Syst. Nat. t. lxvi. (1850) .... A. brasiliensis. 



The genus Attila has nearly the same range as the subfamily, 

 but does not perhaps go so far south as C'asiornis. There is so 

 much variation in the plumage of the species of the first section of 

 the group that, in the absence of a series of specimens with the 

 sexes determined by dissection, it is not possible to understand them 

 properly. 



* Reference should be made to the following described 9pecies of Attila, which 

 are unknown to me: — 



1. Attila flammulaf us, Lafr. R. Z. 1848, p. 47; from Colombia. 



2. A. bolivianus, Lafr. op, cit. p. 46 ; from Bolivia. 



3. A. phanicurus, Pelz. Orn. Bras. p. 96 ; from Brazil. 



4. A. rufigularis, Pelz. ibid. ; from Brazil. 



5. A. cinnamomeus, Lawr. Ann. L. N. Y. x. p. 8 ; from Mazatlan. 



6. A. grheigularis, Berl. Ibis, 1885, p. 290; from Brazil.
