Species of the Genus Pipra. 17 



berg coll.) ; S. Javier and Carondelet, 60 feet (Fleniining 

 coll., Mus. Tring et Vindob.) ; Rio Peripa (Festa coll.). 

 Typical locality. Cachabi, North Ecuador. 

 Type in Mus. Tring : " $ " ad. Cachabi, N. Ecuador, 

 500 feet, 7.1.97 (W. F. H. Rosenberg coll., no. 207). 



S ad. — Agreeing with P. mentalis ignifera in the deep 

 gamboge-yellow thighs and the deep black lower parts, 

 but differing in the following points : the crimson of the 

 head is still more intense, this being particularly noticeable 

 on the forehead and occiput ; the gonydeal angle is but 

 narrowly bordered with yellow ; the inner secondaries alone 

 shew very narrow, indistinct, yellowish-white edges on the 

 inner webs ; the bill is rather smaller and weaker, the wing 

 on average shorter. 



Ten <£ $ from various places in N.W. Ecuador (including 

 the type) measure: wing 55-58; tail 26-28; bill 8-9 mm. 



? ad. — Exactly like that of P. mentalis ignifera, but 

 on average slightly smaller, and with axillaries and under- 

 wing-coverts rather brighter yellow. 



Five ? ? measure: wing 57-59; tail 27-28; bill 8*- 

 9 mm. 



In the original description, Hartert mentions two <f Bo- 

 gota " skins belonging to this form. They are now before 

 me, and I find that they are certainly not Bogota skins, 

 their make being quite different and, I may add, wholly 

 unknown to me. Probably they come from some part of 

 Northern Colombia. They agree in all essential points with 

 Ecuadorian specimens, but the primaries have slight whitish 

 inner edges. The wing is 55, the tail 28 mm. It remains 

 to be ascertained how far north P. m. minor extends its 

 range.
