BIRD LIFE IN THE URUBAMBA VALLEY OF PERU. 87 



(2653a) OCHTHOECA FUMICOLOR BERLEPSCHI Hellmayr. 



Ochthoeca fumicolor berlepschi Hellmayr, Nov. Zool., vol. 21, 1914, p. 167 



(Malaga, w. Bolivia). 

 Ochthoeca oenanthoides Authors. 



Our specimens essentially agree with one from Limbani, south- 

 eastern Peru, and differ from 0. /. hrunneifrons as described by 

 Hellmayr.

(2656) OCHTHOECA OENANTHOn)ES POUONOTA Sclater and Salvin. 



Ochthoeca polionota Sclater and Salvin, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1869, p. 599 (Pitu- 

 marca, S. Peru). 



The type of this form, a male (No. 4821, Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.), 

 through exposure to light, is too much faded to be of value for color 

 comparison. It measures, wing, 89.5 mm.; tail, 73 mm., and with 

 this size virtually topo typical specimens from Cuzco and La Raya 

 agree. Specimens from Tirapata, Limbani and Puno are inter- 

 mediate in size between polionota and oenanthoides, but are nearer 

 the former in color. 



Cuzco, 1 male; La Raya, 3. 



(2658) OCHTHOECA LEUCOPHRYS LEUCOMETOPA Sclater and SaJvin. 



Ochthoeca leucometopa Sclater and Salvin, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1877, p. 19 (Cuzco, 



Peru). 

 Octhoeca leucophrys Sclater and Salvin, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1869, p. 154 (Tinta). 



Specimens from Galea, Pisac and Ttica-Ttica may be considered 

 topotypical. Inmiature birds show to some extent the rufous wing- 

 bars which characterize true leucophrys.

 Pisac, 4; Ttica-Ttica, 3; Cuzco, 7, 



(2664) OCHTHOECA FRONTALIS SPODIONOTA Berlepsch and Stolzmann. 



Ochthoeca spodionota Berlepsch and Stolzmann, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1896, p. 356 

 (Maraynioc, Peru). 



In spite of the fact that Berlepsch and Stolzmann *^ after seeing 

 Sclater and Salvin's type of 0, pulchella from Bolivia, consider their 

 spodionota inseparable, I find that an adult male from Machu Picchu 

 is certainly not the same as two specimens from the trail to Santo 

 Domingo in southeastern Peru. These birds have the superciliary 

 yellow (less strong posteriorly), whereas in the Machu Picchu bird 

 it is snowy white, only the portion before the eye being yellow. 

 I have seen no specimens from Maraynioc, but the close faunal 

 affinity of that locality with the humid Temperate Zone of the 

 Urubamba region makes it more than probable that our specimen 

 should be referred to spodionota.
