486 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 97 
Inasmuch as this species is still rather rare in collections, and not 
too well known, it may be well to append the measurements of the 
specimens obtained. The four males have wing lengths of from 
85.0-88.1 (85.9); tail 63.2-67.2 (65.2); culmen from the base 22.1—23.5 
(23.0 mm.).

SPECIMENS COLLECTED 
1 ad. o', 1 ad. 9, Venezuela, Upper Orinoco, right bank opposite Corocoro 
Island, March 14, 1931. 
The female is slightly paler above than the male. 
PSEUDATTILA PHOENICURUS (Pelzeln): Rufous-tailed Attila 
Altila phoenicurus PrELzELN, Zur Ornithologie Brasiliens, pt. 2, 1868, pp. 96, 171 
(banks of the Rio Parahyba near Mattodentro (Sao Paulo) = Mattodentro, 
Hellmayr, Catalogue of the birds of the Americas, pt. 6, 1929, p. 144). 
SPECIMEN COLLECTED 
1 ad. 9, Venezuela, Cerro Yapacana, Upper Orinoco, April 27, 1931. 
This specimen is the first to be recorded from Venezuela and 
extends the known range of the species northward by a long distance. 
Previously it was known from southern Brazil (Matto Grosso, Sao 
Paulo, Goy4z, and Parandé) north to the Rio Madeira (Rosarinho) 
and the Rio Tapajéz (Tanary). 
Our specimen has been compared with two males and a female in 
the American Museum of Natural History. The female in that collec- 
tion (from Tanary, Rio Tapajéz) is slightly darker, more richly 
tawny-rufescent below than is the Venezuelan one, but it may be not 
fully adult, as it has a narrower, more pointed outermost primary 
than does our specimen. 
Females appear to have darker, more blackish, less reddish brown 
bills (in dried skins) than do males. 
Because of the rarity of this species in collections, the measure- 
ments of the material seen are here appended. Males (Chapada- 
Matto Grosso, and Rosarinho, Rio Madeira)—wing 89.5, 89; tail 
76, 77; culmen from base 20, 21 mm.; females (Cerro Yapacana and 
‘Tanary)—wing 90, 88; tail 75.5, 77; culmen from base 21, 20 mm.
