 Nericagua, Upper Orinoco, Venezuela). 



Range: Eastern Venezuela and British Guiana; Cayenne?^ 



» Specimens from Cucuta are somewhat intermediate but close to obsoletus. 



*> Picumnus undulatus Hargitt: Very similar to P. buffoni and undoubtedly a 

 race of buffoni if the two forms do not occur in the same region. P. undulatus differs 

 chiefly from buffoni in having the upper parts darker and more brownish olive. 



« Hargitt and Chubb both include Cayenne. I have not seen specimens from 

 Cayenne and have not been able to compare specimens from Venezuela with those 

 from the type locality. Berlepsch (Nov. Zool., XV, 1908, p. 274) believes undulatus 

 to be a race of buffoni and that true undulatus does not occur in Cayenne.
