Species of the Genus Pipra. 29 



and sides dull greenish, middle of breast and abdomen in- 

 cluding lower tail-coverts pale yellowish. Axillaries and 

 under-wing-coverts dirty white. Bill and feet as in the male. 

 Wing 51-54 ; tail 23-24; bill 8-9 mm.— The female closely 

 resembles that of P. coronata, but is smaller and easily 

 known by its yellowish oil-green cap. 



One £ ad. from Baeza, East Ecuador, is absolutely iden- 

 tical with typical Bogota skins and shews no approach to 

 P. i. leucopygia. 



8 a. Pipra isidorii leucopygia. 



Pipra isidorei leucopygia Hellmayr, Verhandl. zool.-bot. 

 Gesellsch. Wien, 1903, p. 200, descr. orig. $ ad. [Huambo, 

 N. Peru]. 



Pipra isidori (nee Sclater !) Taczanowski, P. Z. S. 1882, 

 p. 23 [Huambo] ; id. Orn. Perou, ii. (1884) p. 342 [Huambo]. 



Habitat. North Peru, in the Huayabamba Valley : Hu- 

 ambo, 3700 feet (Stolzmann coll., specimens in Mus. Varsovia, 

 Berlepsch, & Vindob.), Guayabamba, 5500 feet (O. T. Baron 

 coll., c? ad. in Brit. Mus.). 



Typical locality. Huambo, North Peru. 



Type. S ad., Huambo, N. Peru, coll. Stolzmann, no. 19242, 

 Mus. Vindob. 



£ ad. — Easily known from the typical form by having the 

 rump and upper-tail-coverts of a much paler whitish-blue 

 colour. Wing 48-50 ; tail 20-22 ; bill 7 mm. Hence the 

 bill is rather smaller. 



Four male ad. from Huambo and Guayabamba examined. 

 I have not seen the female of this form, but probably it 

 does not differ from that of the typical race. 



9. Pipra ceruleocapilla. 



Pipra caruleocapilla Tschudi, Arch. Naturg. 10, i. (1844) 

 p. 271 [Peru. — In the Faun. Peruan., Aves, p. 145, the 

 author says that he found the species in the " Montanas " of 

 N.W. Peru ; but this is obviously erroneous, since it is only 

 known to occur in Central and Southern Peru].
