Calliste whitelyi. (Plate XIII.) 



Pallicle schistacea^ opalino tincta, capite undique, alls et 

 Cauda nigris^ subalaribus albis ; rostro et pedibus uigris : 

 long-, tota 5*3, alae 2*8, caudae 2'\, rostri a rictu 0*5^ 

 tarsi 0*6. 

 ? supra virescenSj capite sum mo obscure fusco, alls et cauda 

 nigricantibus extus cseruleo limbatis^ subtus ciuerascens, 

 abdomine medio albicantiore albido striato, liypochon- 

 driis oleagineis, subalaribus albis. 

 Hab. in moute " Roraima ■" dicto^ Guiana Brit. 

 Mas. nostr. 



Ohs. C. cyanoptera, ex Venezuela^ affinis^ sed alis maris 

 uigris nee cyaneo limbatis facile distinguenda. 



Mr, Whitely's collection contains several specimens of this 

 fine new Calliste, all of them shot in the forests on the slopes 

 of Roraima-j at an altitude of from 5000 to 6000 feet. As in 

 the case of the two preceding species, its alliance is with a 

 well-known Venezuelan Calliste, from which, however, it is 

 obviously distinct. 



PhONIPARA PH^OPTILA. 



Omnino fuliginosa, abdomine imo vix pallidiore, crisso albido 

 striato; rostro nigro, mandibulse basi pallida, pedil)us 

 corylinis : long, tota 4"6, alje 2'3, caudte 2*0, rostri a 

 rictu 0*45, tarsi 0"6. 

 Hab. in monte '^ Roraima ^^ dicto, Guiana Brit. 

 l^his. nostr. 



Obs. P. bicolori affinis, sed dorso fuliginoso nee olivacco 

 differt. 



Mr. Whitely's single specimen of this species was obtained 

 near Roraima, at an elevation of about 3500 feet above the 

 sea. It seems quite distinct from all the species of Phonipara 

 hitherto described.

Supra virescens, capite toto summo et nucha plumbeo-nigris, 

 fronte capite lateribus et gutture toto laete cinnamomeis, 

 alis et Cauda nigris extus viride limbatis, illis quoque 

 fasciis duabus cinnamomeo-viridibus ornatis ; abdomine
