  . 
  

   Of 
  this 
  species 
  I 
  have 
  only 
  one 
  specimen, 
  in 
  fine 
  plumage, 
  

   but 
  without 
  indication 
  of 
  sex, 
  obtained 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Gustav 
  Garlepp 
  

   in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Vacas 
  on 
  the 
  1st 
  September, 
  1890. 
  The 
  

   iris 
  is 
  noted 
  as 
  " 
  brown.'^ 
  

  

  When 
  I 
  first 
  received 
  this 
  bird 
  I 
  was 
  much 
  perplexed 
  

   regarding 
  its 
  systematic 
  position. 
  I 
  am 
  now 
  of 
  opinion 
  

   that 
  it 
  belongs 
  to 
  a 
  new 
  genus 
  which 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  placed 
  next 
  

   to 
  Foospiza. 
  Its 
  nearest 
  ally 
  is 
  apparently 
  Poospiza 
  coesar, 
  

   Scl. 
  & 
  Salv., 
  from 
  Southern 
  Peru, 
  which 
  in 
  my 
  opinion 
  ought 
  

   also 
  to 
  be 
  separated 
  generically 
  from 
  Poospiza 
  *. 
  

  

  In 
  coloration 
  it 
  differs 
  greatly 
  from 
  P. 
  casar 
  and 
  the 
  

   other 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  Poospiza. 
  All 
  the 
  underparts 
  

   are 
  of 
  a 
  fine 
  orange-rufous^ 
  this 
  colour 
  being 
  more 
  intense 
  

   on 
  the 
  throat 
  and 
  breast, 
  and 
  paler 
  or 
  more 
  fulvous 
  on 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen. 
  The 
  forehead 
  and 
  fore 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   crown 
  are 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  orange-rufous 
  as 
  the 
  underparts, 
  and 
  

   this 
  colour 
  is 
  prolonged 
  over 
  the 
  eye 
  to 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  

   occiput, 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  broad 
  but 
  short 
  superciliary 
  band. 
  

   I 
  Beneath 
  the 
  eye 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  band 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  tint, 
  which
