650 Count T. Salvadori— Notes 



I do not understand the reasons for which Messrs. Clark 

 and Rothschild prefer the specific name sallai to the older 

 name of Miiller. 



Graydidascalus Bp. 

 Pachinus Rchnw. (nee Stal) ; Oberh. Pr. Ac. Philad. 1899, 

 p. 203. 



Pionus Wagl. 



- Pionus menstruus Hartert, Nov. Zool. v. p. 500 (young - , 

 Cachavi) (1898) ; Salvad. & Festa, Boll. Mus. Tor. no. 368, 

 p. 26 (Gualaquiza, Babahoio, Rio Peripa) (1900) ; Berl. & 

 Hartert, Nov. Zool. ix. p. 110 (Orinoco Region) (1902) ; 

 Hellm. Nov. Zool. xii. p. 302 (Para) (1905). 



Dr. Festa and I (/. c.) have noticed that three specimens 

 from Western Ecuador differ from one from Gualaquiza in 

 having the red gular patch much broader, and answer to 

 Pionus rubrigularis Cab. (Journ. f. Orn. 1881, p. 222). 



PlONUS MAXIMILIANI (Kulll). 



Pionus lacerus Heine; Sclat. Bull. B. O. C. iii. p. xlv 

 (1894) ; Ibis, 1894, p. 546 ; Salvad. Boll. Mus. Tor. no. 208, 

 p. 19 (critical) (1895). 



Pionus maximiliani Salvad. 1. c. ; id. op. cit. no. 378, 

 p. 12 (Mattogrosso) (1901). 



I have no longer any doubt as to the identity of P. lacerus 

 with P. maximiliani.
