Having compared these examples from Paraguay with a 

 series of eleven others from Brazil, I have come to the 

 conclusion that the Paraguayan bird is paler above, and tlie 

 chestnut tail not so intense in colour, while the under surface 

 presents a whiter appearance. I would suggest, therefore, 

 that it be regarded as a subspecies under the name of 

 Automolus leucophthalmus beryiaaus.
