BIRDS FROM BRAZIL AND SOUTHERN VENEZUELA—FRIEDMANN 4()5 
FORPUS PASSERINUS CYANOCHLORUS (Schlegel): Schlegel’s Parrotlet 
Psitiacula cyanochlora ‘‘Natterer’” ScHLEGEL, Mus. Hist. Nat. Pays-Bas, vol. 3, 
1864, Psittaci, p. 31 (Forte do Rio Branco, Brazil) (in synonymy of Psitta- 
culus sancti-thomae (“‘Kuhl’), not Psittacus St. Thomae P. L. S. Miller). 
SPECIMEN COLLECTED 
1 ad. o, Brazil, SAo Gabriel, Rio Negro, January 6, 1931. 
In the absence of comparative material, this subspecific identifica- 
tion is made on geographic grounds, but even at that it is open to 
reexamination as Sao Gabriel is a good distance west of the Rio Branco, 
where cyanochlorus is known to occur. 
FORPUS PASSERINUS VIRIDISSIMUS (Lafresnaye): Green Parrotlet 
Psittacula viridissima LAFRESNAYE, Rev. Zool., 1848, p. 172 (Caracas, Venezuela). 
SPECIMENS COLLECTED 
4 ad. o, lim. o&, Venezuela, Soledad, June 12, 1931. 
Three of the adults were in breeding condition according to the 
collector’s notes. 
BROTOGERIS JUGULARIS CYANOPTERA (Pelzeln): Deville’s Parakeet 
Sittace cyanoptera ‘“‘Natterer Cat. MS.” Prxizetn, Zur Ornithologie Brasiliens, 
1870, p. 260 (in synonymy of Brotegeris jugularis (Deville)) (Rio Icanna, 
Rio Vaupé, Brazil). 
SPECIMENS COLLECTED 
1 ad. o, Brazil, Cachoeira Manaj6, Rio Cauabury, October 30, 1930. 
2 ad. o, Brazil, Rio Cauabury, below nicuth of Rio J&é, November 3, 1930.

2 ad. o', 4 ad. 9, Brazil, Séo Gabriel, Rio Negro, January 1-5, 1931. 
1 ad. o&, 1 ad. ?, Venezuela, Chapazon, right bank of Brazo Casiquiare, 
January 30, 1931. 
2ad. 9,1lim. 9, Venezuela, San Antonio, Upper Orinoco, March 1, 1931. 
2 ad. o', 2 ad. 9, Venezuela, Cerro Yapacana, Upper Orinoco, April 8-15, 
1931. 
On the whole the October to early January birds are less abraded 
than those collected between the end of January and mid-April. 
Peters (Check list of birds of the world, vol. 3, 1937, p. 207) credits 
the name cyanopiera to Salvadori (Catalogue of the birds in the 
collection of the British Museum, vol. 20, 1891, p. 261), but all that 
that author does is to list Pelzeln’s listing of the name. It appears 
that von Pelzeln, 1870, is the real starting place of this term in 
nomenclature. 
Two other specimens from Sao Gabriel were preserved in alcohol. 
BROTOGERIS CHRYSOPTERUS TENUIFRONS Friedmann: Rio Negro Parakeet 
Brotogeris chrysopterus tenuifrons FRIEDMANN, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 58;
