Scytalopus griseicollis (Lafr.) 



Merul [axis] grisei-collis Lafr., Rev. Zool., 1840, p. 103 (Bogota); type 

 examined. 



Merul [axis] squamiger Lafr., Rev. Zool., 1840, p. 103 (Bogota); Juv.; 

 type examined. 



Range. — Temperate Zone of the Eastern Andes of Colombia (and north- 

 eastward to the Sierra of Merida, Venezuela?). 



Remarks. — Found by us only in the Temperate Zone of the 

 Eastern Andes near Bogota. Examination of the type of Lafres- 

 naye's Merulaxis squamiger shows it to be based on the juvenal 

 plumage of this species. Mr. Bangs sends me, in addition to the 

 types of griseicollis and squamiger a Lafresnaye specimen (No. 4854) 

 labelled "Scytalopus erythropterus Lafr." I cannot find that this 

 name was published. The bird is a not fully adult specimen of 

 Scytalopus griseicollis. 



The whitish abdomen, unbarred tawny flanks and rump, and 

 brownish tail, distinguish the adult of this species. The juvenal 

 plumage is conspicuously and evenly barred both below and above. 



Specimens examined. — Colombia: 'Bogota,' (including the type), 

 7; El Roble (8,000 ft.), 1; El Pinon, 2; Chipaque, 1; Tocaimito 

 (above Bogota, 10,500 ft.), 3. 



Scytalopus infasciatus sp. now 



Char. sp. — In general color resembling Scytalopus micropterus microp- 

 terus Scl. ( = S. analis Auct. nee Lafr.) but somewhat paler, the tail brown- 

 ish, the rump and flanks tawny, unbarred as in S. griseicollis Lafr., bill 

 black as in micropterus. 



Type. — No. 132328, American Museum of Natural History. Paramo 

 de Beltran (alt. 9750 ft.) near Bogota, Colombia, Mch. 31, 1915, Hermano 

 Apolinar Maria. 



Range. — Known only from the Andes near Bogota at altitudes of 8,000 

 and 9,750 ft. 



Description of Type. — Upperparts dark neutral gray, the crown ante- 

 riorly, in some lights, rather more silvery but with no indication of a 

 white patch, forehead and orbital region more dusky, back very slightly 

 tinged with olive-brown, rump and upper tail-coverts tawny or ochra- 

 ceous-tawny, unbarred; tail dark Prout's brown; wings fuscous, externally
