 male azure-blue, purple below, with black flag-feathers and black tail ; 

 female brown, greyish below. — Cotinga cincta Gray, Buff. PL i88, re- 

 garded by many writers as a variety, differs by a blue transverse streak on 

 the breast; — Ampelis caijana L., Buff. PI. enl. 624, &c. In this species 

 the first two flag-featliers are narrow. 



Ampelis ponipadora L., Buff. PL enl. 279 male and 699 (fem. Amxtelis 

 cinerea auctor.) ; Cayenne, Guiana ; the two mandibles more equal, the 

 tail shorter, the first flag-feathers not narrowed. The male is purple

 Swains.). 



Note. — Tlie species of this genus differ from the allied species in their 

 simple, unadorned plumage, whence the name Lipaugus. Bill moderate, 

 deeply emarginate. Wings with first quill short, third and fourth subequal, 

 longest of all. Sp. Lipaugus simplex, Muscicapa simplex Lichtenst., 

 Lipaugus lateralis Gray, Gener. PI. LX. &c.

Phibalura ViElLL.,^ Amiyhiholura Caban. Bill short, with 

 ciilmen rounded, arched. Tarsi sti-ong, covered anteriorly with 

 transverse scutes. Outer toes scarcely conjoined at the base. Wing 

 with first four quills longer than the rest, second and third sub- 

 equal, longest of all. Tail forked, with outer feather on each side 

 acute, produced. 



Sp. Phibalura flavirostris Vieill., Galer. Pi. 74, Temm. PI. col. 118, Guer. 

 Iconogr., Ois. PI. 9, fig. 2 ; Brasil. With the exception of the long forked 

 tail, this bird has much resemblance to some species of Ampelis which form 

 the sub-genus Ampelion Caban. or Carpornis Gray. 



^ The etymology is uncertain ; phihalis is the Greek name of a species of fig. It 

 seems to me that Psalidura or Sckizura would be better if these names were not 

 already used in entomology. Dicranura appears, if there must be change, pi-eferable 

 to Amphibolura.
