74 Bangs New or Rare Birds from Western Colombia. 



grayer than back, and of the size of M. olivaceus oliraceus, not larger. 

 From M. olivaceus 'olivaceus it differs in much heavier, coarser streak- 

 ing below, and in general darker, grayer coloration, the pilemn much 

 grayer and the back much darker, more grayish olive-green. 



Measurements. Type, adult 9, wing, 62; tail, 47; tarsus, 15.5; cul- 

 men, 12.5. 



Another specimen, from Rio Bitaco, May 2, 1908, is precisely like the 

 type, and the west Colombian subspecies seems a very well marked one. 

 I also received a skin of M. striaticollis poliocephahis Tschudi, collected 

 by Mr. Palmer at San Antonio, Rio Cali, November 21, 1907. 



Pheugopedius spadix sp. nov. 



Type from Naranjito, Rio Dagua, western Colombia. Adult d\ No. 

 23,446, Bangs collection, Museum of Comparative Zoology. Collected 

 June 20, 1908, by M. G. Palmer. 



Characters. A very distinct species, apparently most nearly related to 

 P. atrogularis (Salvin) of Costa Rica, but at once distinguished from 

 that species by having a banded tail. 



Color. Pileum clove brown; sides of head and throat (not extending 

 at all onto chest or neck) black, the ear coverts, a narrow line of feathers 

 above the eye and on sides of the fcont, with white shaft stripes ; upper 

 parts, including margins of wing feathers (the wings unhanded), under 

 side of neck, chest, breast and sides, rich chestnut; flanks dull brown, 

 about between Prout's brown and raw umber; middle of belly and under 

 tail coverts dull raw umber, with indistinct dusky cross bars; tail regu- 

 larly barred across with black and chestnut, the black bars a little the 

 wider. 



Measurements Type, adult c?, wing, 64; tail, 54; tarsus, 23; cul- 

 men, 16.5. 



Pheugopedius mystacalis saltuensis subsp. nov. 



Type from San Luis, Bitaco Valley, western Colombia. Adult d 1 , No. 

 23,448, Bangs collection, Museum of Comparative Zoology. Collected 

 June 5, 1908, by M. G. Palmer. 



Characters. Similar to P. mi/stacalis mystacalis (Scl.) of Pallatanga, 

 Ecuador, but head and hind neck much purer gray; breast, chest and 

 sides much grayer, less buffy, being mouse gray; black malar stripe wider 

 and consequently white supramalar stripe narrower. 



Measurements. Type, adult cT, wing, 68; tail, 61; tarsus, 26.5; cul- 

 men, 18.5. 



An adult male topotype is exactly similar, and the two skins I compared 

 very carefully with many Ecuador specimens. 



Henicorhina leucosticta eucharis subsp. nov. 



Type from near Pavas, western Colombia, 4,400 feet altitude. Adult 

 c?, No. 23,444, Bangs collection, Museum of Comparative Zoology. Col- 

 lected February 18, 1908, by M. G. Palmer.
