under parts dirty white; the whole back and shoulder-covers grey ; 
the little plumage of the wings black or grey, with whitish margins ; 
hand-wings black, arm-wings dark grey, marginated with whitish 
yellow ; the inner webs of the wings broadly marginated with whitish 
yellow ; tail-feathers grey, along the shafts black and on the margin 
narrowly bordered with yellowish white ; the second abnormous hand- 
feather with broader inner web black, with white margin from the 
emargination to the end, and with a large long white spot from the 
root to two-thirds of the feather. 
The female rufous with darker head ; wings black-brown, with pre- 
dominating rufous yellow margins ; belly and under tail-covers lighter- 
coloured. 
This species comes from Para. 
Very near to this species must be placed the Psaris surinamus 
(Muscicapa, Gmel.), which is characterized with the following dia- 
gnosis :—Caudd rotundatd, apice albd ; corpore nigro, subtus albo. 
I have not hitherto seen this species, nor Ps. niger variegatus and 
melanoleucus. 
Dimensions of Ps. parinus :—head, 34; gape, 17; wing, 68; tail,49. 
Genus SeroruaGa, Swains. 
This genus is one of the finest of the whole family of Muscicapide. 
It is found only in America. Only one species inhabits the northern 
part, namely the very distinct species, Set. ruticilla, with its yellow 
or red-banded wings and tail. The tail-feathers are pointed. 
The greater part inhabit the southern parts. They form various 
little subgenera, distinguished by their very different colouring. One 
of these, and I think the most beautiful, is the little section to which 
the following species belong. They have much yellow on the head 
and under side; on the over parts dark cinereous. 
SETOPHAGA RUFICORONATA, Kp. 
Diag.—With red head-spot ; the first tail-feather all white. 
Descr.—The hind ear-feathers black ; front, lorum and eye-region 
yellow ; the first tail-feather all white; the second white, with black 
spot on the outer web, and black margin on the inner web; under 
tail-covers black-spotted. 
Mus. Derbyanum. 
Very near to this species is 
SET. RUFICAPILLA, Cab., 
of which Bonaparte gives the diagnosis in the following manner :— 
Fusco-plumbea, subtus omnino flava, \ateribus fuscis ; pileo castaneo, 
rectricibus extimis apice albis. Guiana. 
SET. LEUCOMPHOMMA, Kp. 
Diag.—Lorum, eye-region and chin white. 
Deser.—Ear-covers black, the yellow colour reaching only to the 
after part of the eye; tail and under tail-covers like ruficoronata.
