17. SPERMOPHILA. 139 



Similar to S. minuta, but entirely brownish cinnamon, with tho 

 head grey ; quills and tail-feathers blackish, margined with grey ; 

 a white wing-spot. (Bonaparte.) 



Hob. Brazil. 



I should have thought that this species would be identical with 

 S. hypoxaniha, but Von Pelzeln keeps the two distinct. 



Spermophila falcirostris.

J.f. 0. 1874, p. 84, note. 



Dr. Sclater says that this species would appear to be the female 

 of a species allied to S. hypohuca, but he never met with a specimen 

 of it. Dr. Cabauis, however, says that the Berlin Museum possesses 

 three examples of it from Bahia, and that it is a good species, allied 

 to S. super dliaris. 



Spermophila flabellum.

 Sporophila flabellifera, Bp. Consp. i. p. 499 (1850) ; Burm. Th. Bras. 



iii. p. 249 (1856). 



Daubenton's figures probably represent a female and young male 

 of Guiraca ccerulea ; but I agree with Dr. Sclater that it is impossible 

 to determine them for certain. 



Spermophila inornata. 



Pyrrhula inornata, Yig. Zool. Beechexfs Voy. p. 83 (1839). 

 Spermophila inornata, Gray, Gen. B. ii. p. 386. 



Dr. Sclater writes : — " This may be a female Spermophila or Gui- 

 raca ; but without examination of the type (which has disappeared) 

 it would be impossible to determine the species. No locality is 

 given." 



Spermophila leucopsis. 



Spermophila leucopsis, Cab. J.f. 0. 1861, p. 5; Scl. Ibis, 1871, p. 20. 

 Similar to S. moreleti, but larger and with a conspicuously larger
