Archiplanus sclateri Dubois 



Agelaius sclateri Dubois TYir'K 



8764.. Brussels. Y.lng 100, tail 9A, culenin from shield 

 26.7, depth at base 13.5, tarsus 27.6, middle toe 

 minus claw, bent "Ecuador" 



Skin in good state of preservation - "Quito" make and 

 poorly prepared. I do not know the characters of 

 immature for this species, but believe the in- 

 dividual to be immature because of the brovnish 

 black wings, and tail (save for some of the 

 secondary covertsj while the rest of the plumage 

 is velvety intense black. 



The tag is written by Dubois, including the in- 

 scription "Type". 



Brussels, July 29, 1939. 



This genus is very close to Amblycercus - rather the 

 monotypio Amblycercus could easily be placed in 

 Archiplanus the members of which differ consider- 

 ably among themselves.
