This, like the preceding species, is found all along- the river from 

 Ciudad Bolivar to beyond the falls of Maipures, but is much less 

 common. 



Habrura pectoralis brevipennis Berlepsch & Hartert.

This must be a very rare form in the Orinoco region. The writer 

 secured the type specimen at Caicara, April 26, 1898. It was the only 

 example taken during that expedition and none have been since met 

 with. 



The type is said to differ from H. pectoralis in having shorter wings, 

 only. 



Mr. Ridgway^ has suggested that "Habrura might not be out of 



place in the Cotingidae," but some recent studies of my own of the 



tarsi of Mesomyodian birds, chiefly flycatchers, have persuaded me that 



for the present at least Habrura may be safely left with the Tyrannidae.

A not uncommon species in sparsely wooded savanna regions and 

 the borders of heavy timber. It was observed and collected at various 

 points from Las Barrancas, in the delta region, up as far as Munduapo 

 beyond the falls of Maipures. 



In life the eye is straw yellow ; bill black, slate grey at base of 

 mandible; feet slate grey. 



This species was properly removed from the genus Capsiempis by 

 Mr. Hellmayr (vide supra), but it certainly can not be referred to 



'Birds of North and Middle America. IV. 1907. p. 339.
