Sp. Ampelis cotinga L., Cotinga ccendea GRAY, BUFF. PI. enl. 186; Brasil; 

 male azure-blue, purple below, with black flag-feathers and black tail; 

 female brown, greyish below. Cotinga cincta GRAY, BUFF. PI. 188, re- 

 garded by many writers as a variety, differs by a blue transverse streak on 

 the breast; Ampelis cayana L., BUFF. PI. enl. 624, &c. In this species 

 the first two flag-feathers are narrow. 



Ampelis pompadora L., BUFF. PL enl. 279 male and 699 (fern. Ampelis 

 cinerea auctor.) ; Cayenne, Guiana ; the two mandibles more equal, the 

 tail shorter, the first flag-feathers not narrowed. The male is purple 

 coloured with white wings and stiff glossy coverts on the shoulders. This 

 species is the type of the genus Xipholena GLOGEB. 



Pyrrhorhynchus LAFRESNAYE. 



Comp. HARTLAUB, Note Monographique sur le sous-genre Pyrrhorhynchus, 

 Ampelis formosa HARTL., GUER. Revue et Magas. de Zool. 1849, pp. 493, 

 494, PI. 14, fig. t. 



Add Ampelion CABAN. (Carpomis GRAY), Lipaugus BOTE (Lathria 

 SWAINS.). 



Note. The species of this genus differ from the allied species in their 

 simple, unadorned plumage, whence the name Lipaugus. Bill moderate, 

 deeply emarginate. Wings with first quill short, third and fourth subequal, 

 longest of all. Sp. Lipaugus simplex, Muscicapa simplex LICHTENST., 

 Lipaugus lateralis GRAY, Gener. PI. LX. &c. 



Ptilochloris SWAINS., Collurampelis LESS. 



Sp. Ptilochloris lunatus SWAINS., Lanius arcuatus GEOFFR. SAINT-HIL., 

 LAFRESN., GUERIN Magas. de Zool. 1833, Ois. PI. 12. 



Phibalura ViElLL., 1 Amphibolura CABAN. Bill short, with 

 culmen rounded, arched. Tarsi strong, covered anteriorly with 

 transverse scutes. Outer toes scarcely conjoined at the base. Wing 

 with first four quills longer than the rest, second and third sub- 

 equal, longest of all. Tail forked, with outer feather on each side 

 acute, produced. 



Sp. Phibalura flavirostris VIEILL., Oaler. PI. 74, TEMM. PL col. 118, GUER. 

 Iconogr., Ois. PI. 9, fig. 2 ; Brasil. With the exception of the long forked 

 tail, this bird has much resemblance to some species of Ampelis which form 

 the sub-genus Ampelion CABAN. or Carpomis GRAY. 



1 The etymology is uncertain ; phibalis is the Greek name of a species of fig. It 

 seems to me that Psalidura or Schizura would be better if these names were not 

 already used in entomology. Dicranura appears, if there must be change, preferable 

 to A mpkibohwa.
