Adelomyia melanogenvs, Gould, Mon. Track, iii. pi. 198 (May 1859) ; 

 id. Intr. Troch. p. 113 (partim) ; Scl. Sf Salv. P. Z. 8. 1875, p. 736. 

 Adelomyia ajneotincta, Simon, Mem. Soc. Zool. Fr. 1889, p. 2i!3. 



Adult maU. Very similar to that of A. melanogenys, but smaller 

 and with a shorter bill ; the under surface is paler, and the gular 

 spots are confined to the upper part of the throat ; the rectrices, 

 too, appear to be wider. Length of wing 2 inches, bill 0'6. 



This bird was identitied and figured by Gould as A. melano- 

 genys, from which it presents several points of distinction ; Gould, 

 when describing A. maculata, recognized the difference, but un- 

 fortunately described the wrong bird. This has recently been 

 rectified by M. Simon.
