(2280) LOCHMIAS OBSCURATA Cabanis. 



Lochmias obscurata Cabanis, Joixrn. fiir Ornith., 1873, p. 65 (Monterico, Peru). 

 Lochmias sororia Berlepsch and Stolzmann, Ornis, 1906, p. 91 (Santa Ana). 



It is probable that the specimen recorded by Berlepsch and Stolz- 

 mann came from the Subtropical Zone above Santa Ana. 



(2287) SCHIZOEACA PALPEBRALIS Cabanis. 



Schizoeaca palpebralis Cabanis, Joum. fur Ornith., 1873, p. 319 (Maraynioc, Peru). 

 I have seen no topotypical specimens of this representative oi 

 S. griseo-murina. 



(Cedrobamba, 12,000 feet), 3; above Torontoy, 14,000 feet, 3. 



(2295a) LEPTASTHENURA ANDiCOLA PERUVIANA Chapman. 



Leptasthenura andicola peruviana Chapman, Bull. Amer. Mua. Nat. Hist., vol. 41, 

 1919, p. 327 (La Raya, Peru). 



Subspecific characters. — Similar to LeptastJienura andicola andicola 

 of Ecuador, but crown light cinnamon-rufous instead of dark hazel, 

 the black margins much narrower, the malar region and throat 

 whiter, the lores and auriculars more rufescent, the back more 

 broadly streaked with white, the wing-coverts and tertials narrowly 

 but distinctly margined with pale cinnamon-rufous, markings near 

 and at the base of the inner wing quills pale cinnanon-rufous and 

 more evident, tail longer. Wing, 74 ; tail, 95 ; culmen, 1 1 mm. 



La Rava, 1. 



(2297) LEPTASTHENURA PILEATA ScJater. 



Leptasthenura pileata Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1881, p. 487 ("Lima "-Andes 

 above Lima). 



A specimen from timber line (14,000 feet) above Torontoy does 

 not agree vfith. Sclater's description, and Mr. Chubb, to whom I 

 have submitted a photograph of our bird, writes that it differs from 

 the type and other specimens in the British Museum in having the 

 black and white pattern of the throat " coarser and more contrasting." 

 Sclater's description reads "beneath cinereous, with white shaft- 

 stripes more distinct on the throat and breast," while our bird has 

 no shaft-stripes below and the strongly marked black and white 

 throat and upper breast are sharply defined from the rest of the 

 underparts. It doubtless represents a new form, but I hesitate to 

 describe it without actual comparison with pileata. 



Above Torontoy, 14,000 feet, 1 male. 



(2307) SYNALLAXIS AZARAE AZARAE d'Orbigny. 



Synallaxis azarae d'OnrnGtiY, Voy. Amer. Mer., Ois., 1839-1847, p. 246 (Valle- 



grande, BoliAda). 

 Synallaxis griseiventrisBERLBFacs and Stolzmann, Ornis, 1906, p. 91 (Idma). 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone. Our specimens agree with the type 

 of Synallaxis griseiventris Allen," but the crown averages deeper in 

 color. 



Idma, 3; San Miguel Bridge, 8; Torontoy, 6. 



« Said by Hellmayr to be synonymous with azarae. see Berlepsch, Proc. IV Int. Orn. Cong., 1907, p. 363.
