OCHROGASTER. 



Penelope ochrogaster, Natterer; Pelz. Orn. Bras„ pp. 282, 337 

 (1870); Ogilvie-Grant, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxii. p. 501

{Plate XXXVI 11.) 



Adult Male. — Neaily allied to P. pileata, the black eyehroiv- 

 stripes being well marked, but the plumage is altogether paler 

 in colour; feathers of the top of the head reddish-brown, 

 edged on the sides with white ; back of the neck dull olive- 

 brown^ with a slight rufous wash, but scarcely differing in colour 

 from the ?nantle ; under-parts light chestnut. Total length, 

 30 inches; wing, i3'3 ; tail, i4'2 ; tarsus, 3*5; middle toe 

 and claw, 3*i. 



I have had no opportunity of examining the female of this 

 species, but it is said to resemble the male. 



Range. — South America; near Cuyaba, Matto Grosso, 

 Brazil.

 Penelope superciliaris, J. E. Gray (nee Temm.) Knows!. Menag. 

 ii. pi. viii. (1846). 

 Adult Male and Female. — Most nearly allied to P. p Heat a and 

 P. ochrogaster, which they reseipble in having well-marked black 

 eyebrow-stripes, but easily distinguished from both by having 

 the whole plumage of the upper- and under-parts dark brotvn^ 

 the former slightly glossed with green ; the feathers of the fore- 

 head, wing-coverts, and breast edged on the sides with white.
