* Bonaparte described in 1837 a Guiraca magnirostris, which in 1850 he 

 referred with doubt to the genus Pheucticus ; but it is so badly diagnosed that 

 I have not been able to identify the species, nor has Mr. Salvin been able to 

 make it out. As Swainson had already described a Guiraca magnirostris, Bona- 

 parte's name became untenable, and in 1869 Count Salvadoi-i re-named the 

 species Pheucticus bonapartii, which name it will bear when any one is able to 

 identify it. The synonymy is as follows: — 



Pheucticus bonapartii.
