specimens obtained by Herr Schulz in the woods of Tucuman. It is 

 said to have a loud voice, and to feed on berries. 



154. ELAINEA VIRJDICATA (Vieill.). 

 (GREENISH TYRANT.) 



Muscicapara viridicata, cTOrb. Voij., Ois. p. 325. Elamea grata, Cab. J.f. O. 

 1883, p. 216 (Tucuman). 



Desertion. Above dark olive-green ; head dark cinereous, slightly crested, 

 with a large basal spot of bright yellow; lores and eye-region mixed with 

 whitish ; wings and tail ashy black, with slight margins of the same colour as 

 the back ; below pale cinereous ; belly, crissum, and under wing-coverts sulphur- 

 yellow ; bill blackish ; feet dark brown : whole length 5-0 inches, wing 2-5, tail 

 2'5. Female similar. 



Hab. South America. 



The Elamea grata, based by Dr. Cabanis upon specimens obtained 

 by Herr Schulz in Tucuman, must, I think, be identical with Azara's 

 Contramaestre par do verdoso, corona amarilla, upon which Vieill ot 

 established his Sylvia viridicata. It is certainly, in my opinion, the 

 Muscicapara viridicata of d'Orbigny. 



Herr Schulz met with this species in the province of Tucuman, 

 in the month of December.

 Hudson obtained specimens for the Smithsonian Institution.
