Type-specimens of certain Birds. 241 



4. Pipra cyaxea Thunberg, 1822, of which the type is 

 apparently lost. 



5. Pipra viridis Thunberg, 1822. This is a female of 

 Chiroxiphia caudata (Shaw) (see above). The great difference 

 of the sexes led Thunberg to name this species twice. 



6. Pipra virexs Thunberg, 1822. 



7. Pipra pusilla Thunberg, 1822. 

 Of these species the types cannot be found. 



8. Pipra fasciata Thunberg, 1822, = Sub ley at us platy- 

 rhynchus Sclater & Salvin. (For other synonyms see Cat. 

 B. Brit. Mus. xiv. p. 158.) In this case Thunberg' s name 

 has undoubted priority, because even if Prince Max. von 

 Wied's Muscipeta incanescens * be referred to this bird, a 

 proceeding which Dr. Sclater seems to regard as questionable, 

 Thunberg's name antedates it by many years. The species 

 must therefore stand as Subleyatus fasciatus (Thunberg). 

 The type-specimen is from Brazil. 



9. Pipra frontalis Thunberg, 1822, = female of Pipra 

 pectoralis Latham, 1801. Its modern name is Euphouia 

 pectoralis (Latham). (For other synonyms see Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. xi. p. 80.) 



10. Pipra cephaleucos Thunberg, 1822, = female of Pipra 

 leucocilla Linnajus, 1766, which is also its correct name. 

 (For other synonyms see Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xiv. p. 297.) 



In Thunberg's paper (/. c. p. 286) there is a misprint or 

 lapsus calami, as " atrocapilla " is given instead, of " leuco- 

 capilla," to which latter name the Linnean " leucocilla " had. 

 been changed by Gmclin (Syst. Nat. ed. xiii. p. 1002). 

 Thunberg had recognised the likeness between his specimen 

 and the Linnean Pipra leucocilla, but, as the latter had been 

 described as black and the former was green, he proposed a 

 new name, not recognising the sexual difference of coloration. 



11. Pipra flavogaster Thunberg, 1822, = Muscicapu 

 payana Licht. 1824. Its modern name is Elainea pay ana
