An example of a new species of Leptoiriccus was also 

 exhibited by Mr. Hartert, and described by liira as 

 follows : — 



Leptotriccus flaviventris^ sp. n. 



Quite different from the other two known species of the 

 genus, L. sylviola Licht., o£ Southern Brazil, and L. super- 

 ciliaris Scl, & Salv., of Central America, in being of a 

 uniform sulphur-yellow colour below, and in having two 

 broad yellow bars across the wing, formed by the yellow 

 tips of the largest and median wing-coverts. The crown 

 was olive- green like the back, as in L. sylviola, while 

 L. super ciliar is had the head and nape of a dark plum- 

 beous shade. In the markings of the head and in other 

 respects it agreed with its two congeners.
