Attila rufipectus is a near ally of A. spadiceus of Guiana and 

 Brazil, resembling it both in size and general coloration, from 

 which it may prove to be only subspecifically separable. It is 

 apparently nearer this than to Attila flammulatus Lafresnaye, 

 said to have come from " Colombia," and the only species of Attila 

 heretofore attributed to Colombia. Although the type and only 

 known specimen of A. rufipectus differs widely from Lafresnaye's 

 description of A. flammulatus, further material may show that 

 Lafresnaye's name will have precedence. 



In this connection I may add that Attila cinnamomeus Lawrence, 



rom Mazatlan, Mexico, of which an authentic example is before 



me, belongs to the same group as the present species but differs 



in its wholly white under parts, flammulated on the breast and 



fore neck with dark ashy.

Pachyrhamphus cinereiventris SCLATER, Cat. Bds. Brit. Mus. XIV, 1888, 

 344 (includes the Simons specimens collected at Santa Marta, recorded by Salvin 

 & Godman, /. c.}. 



Eighteen specimens : Bonda, 16 specimens, June 21, July 5, 

 Aug. 1-24, Sept. 6, Oct. 13, 24 and 27, and Nov. 3 ; Cienaga, i 

 specimen, Sept. 14 ; Valparaiso, i specimen, April i. 



These, except the Valparaiso specimen, are practically topo- 

 types of the species, as are also the Simons specimens, recorded 

 as P. niger by Salvin & Godman (/. c.}.

 Two specimens, Cacagualito, May 12, and Bonda, without date.
