78. Marturelli on two Myiotherine Birds. 



[Nota Ornitologica iiitorno alia Napothera j^l/^'rhoptera, Boje, ed alia 

 Myiothera epilepidota, Temm., del Socio Prof. Cfiaciuto Martorelli. Atti 

 Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat.. xxxvi. p. 203.] 



Prof. Martorelli writes on two Myiotherine birds of which 

 there are examples in the Turati Collection at Milan — 

 Napothera pyrrhoptera, Bp. [ex Boie), and Myiothera epi- 

 lepidota, Temm. It seems that Prof. Martorelli is not 

 acquainted with what has been published on the subject by 

 Salvadori, Sharpe, and Biittikofer. He thinks that Napo- 

 thera pyrrhoptera, Boie, ought to be included in the genus 

 Malacopteron, ignoring that both by Salvadori (Ucc. di 

 Borneo, p. 234) and by Sharpe (N. L. M. vi. p. 178), quite 

 independently, it has been attributed to the genus Alcippe. 

 As to Myiothera epilepidota, Temm., Prof. Martorelli does 

 not know what to do with it, and thinks fit to leave it in the 

 genus Myiothera, which is synonymous with the American 

 genus Forinicarius (!), whilst either, according to Biittikofer 

 (N. L. M. xvii. p. 75), it must go in the genus Turdinulas, or 

 according to Sharpe (N. L. M . vi. p. 1 72} in the genus Corytho- 

 cichla. Prof. Martorelli gives a full account of M. epilepidota,
