Furnarius pha>nicu7'us, part., Gieb. Thes. Orn. ii. p. 217 

 (1875). 



Tapaculo de la CordiUern of the Chilians. 



This species appears to be confined to Chili; the "habitat" 

 Patagonia given by Bonaparte, Reichenbach, and also by 

 Sclater and Salvin in the ' Nomenclator ' is certainly 

 erroneous. 



As stated before, the Museum of Turin possesses four 

 specimens of this species : tMO of them were received from 

 the Museum of Santiago with the wrong name of "Enicornis 

 phoenicura," written, I believe, by Dr. Philippi ; they are m.alc 

 and female and nearly alike, but the female differs from 

 the male in having the lores and also an almost obsolete 

 superciliary stripe, beginning on the sides of the forehead^ 

 whitish.
