Hab. Tuanfue, Huallaga super., Peruvise or. (three speci- 

 mens collected in August 1887 by Mr. Gustav Garlepp). 

 Mus. Berlepsch, Nehrkorn, Salvin-Godman. 

 This fine new species I have dedicated to its discoverer, 

 I\Ir. Gustav Garlepp, of Kolhen, Auhalt, who has collected 

 birds during the last three years in different places in North- 

 eastern Peru, and has been fortunate enough to get several 

 of gi'cat rarity, such as Conurus roseifrons, Gray (in great 

 numlicrs), Ara couloni, Scl., Pteroglossus beauharnaisi, Ze- 

 brilus pimiilus (hitherto only known from Guiana), and 

 many others of considerable interest. Mr. Garlepp tells me 

 that Brotogerys gustavi was by no means an uncommon bird 

 in the vicinity of Tuanfue, a place situated far up on the 

 Huallaga. It is quite possible tha^ this Parrot is the repre- 

 sentative of the common B.jugidaris of Upper Amazonia, 

 in the last-named region. At the same time, it is pro- 

 bable that there exist still many other novelties in that 

 little-known country, where Mr. Garlepp, unfortunately, 

 collected but few specimens of birds. 



B. gustavi is evidently a near ally of B. jugularis, Deville, 

 but in the latter species there is no yellow whatever on the
