On some new Tanagers of the Genus Buarremon. 425 



XXXVI. — Descriptions of some new Tanagers of the Genus 

 Buarremon. By P. L. Sclater and O. Salvin. 



(Plate X.) 



The examination of some recent additions to our collections 

 has enabled us to discriminate four apparently new species of 

 Buarremons of the grovip allied to Buarremon rufinucha, 

 which we propose to describe as follows : — 



1. Buarremon melanol^mus, sp. nov. (Plate X. fig. 2.) 

 Fuliginoso-niger^ pileo castaneo ; subtus flavus, olivaceo in- 



dutus, gutture nigro ; hypochondriis et crisso olivaceis ; 

 subalaribus et remigum marginibus iuternis cinereis ; 

 rostro et pedibus nigris : long, tota 6*5^ alse 3"1, caudse 

 3-0. 

 Hab. in Peruvi^ merid., Khachupata [Whitely). 

 Mus. S.-G. 



Obs. Species ab affinibus gutture nigro satis distincta. 

 Mr. H. Whitely obtained a single example of this distinct 

 species at Khachupata, in the Andes of Cuzco (11,000 feet 

 altitude), in April 1873. It belongs to the group of B. rufi- 

 nucha, but may be easily known by its black throat. The 

 lores and sides of the head are black : there is no trace visi- 

 ble of an alar speculum, unless the greater wing-coverts are 

 elevated, when it will be seen that just the bases of the pri- 

 maries are white. 



2. Buarremon spodionotus, sp. nov. 



Buairemon latinuchus, Scl. P. Z.S. 1856, p. 87, et 1860, 

 pp. 7Q, 85. 



Cinereus, pileo et nucha castaneis ; capitis et cervicis lateri- 

 bus alls et cauda nigris ; subtiis flavus, lateribus et crisso 

 cinereo perfusis ; subalaribus et remigum marginibus 

 internis albis, campterio flavicante ; rostro nigro, pedibus 

 corylinis : long, tota 7*0, alse 3"1, caudie 3'1. 

 Hab, in rep. ^quatoriana : Guapulo et Calacali (Fraser) ; 

 Sical {Buckley). 



Mus. P. L. S. et S.-G. 



Obs. A B. latinucho dorso cinereo et speculo alari nuUo 

 distinguendus.
