a Para (Stevens') 1849. 



This specimen has been called /S. punctatissima in. the Orn. Syn. 

 (p. 182) a species to which it does not belong. I cannot distinguish 

 it from the Tasmanian castanops and have no doubt the locality 

 'Para' has been wrongly assigned to it. This specimen is not from 

 Mr A. K. Wallace's collection as its origin and date might lead one 

 to infer.
