1864.] , MR. P. L. SCLATER ON NEW AMERICAN BIRDS. 607 
The males of the three known species of Granatellus may be 
diagnosed as follows :— 
(1.) GRANATELLUS VENUSTUS, DuBus, MS.; Bp. Consp. p.312: 
gula alba ; rectricum externarum apicibus albis. Ex Mexico. 
(2.) GRANATELLUS PELZELNI, mihi: gula alba; pileo nigro ; 
rectricibus concoloribus. Ex Amazonia. 
(3.) GRANATELLUS SALLI, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1856, p. 292, pl. 
120, et 1859, p. 374: gula ardesiaca ; pileo dorso concolore ; rectri- 
cibus concoloribus. Ex Mexico merid. 
The figure of G. venustus (Pl. XX XVII. fig. 2) is an exact copy 
of the figure of this species given by the Vicomte DuBus in the un- 
published plate (pl. 34) of his ‘ Esquisses Ornithologiques,’ a copy 
of which (as I have already mentioned in these Proceedings*) has 
been obligingly sent to me by the author. 
I have never yet met with an example of this species, as I believe 
that the imperfect specimen in the British Museum spoken of by me 
(P. Z.S. 1859, p. 375) belongs probably to G. pelzelnt. 
2. TanaGra oxuivina, Natt. MS., no. 657. 
Cinerascenti-olivacea, alis caudaque fuscis, dorsi colore margi- 
natis, subtus dilutior ; loris, oculorum ambitu, gutture et ab- 
domine medio flavido indutis: rostro plumbeo, ad basin palli- 
diore: pedibus fuscis. Sexus similes. 
Long. tota 6°5, ale 3:2, caudee 3:0. 
Hab. in prov. Brasiliana Cuyaba. 
Mus. Vindob. et P. L. 8. 
Obs. Affinis 7. striate quoad formam, et hujus specimini juniori 
coloribus haud dissimilis, attamen sane diversa, et species optima, 
sexuum simili pictura, et colore gulez et abdominis flavescente distin- 
guenda. 
Herr von Pelzeln furnishes the following extract concerning this 
new and interesting species of true Tanagra, which was obtained by 
Natterer, in 1824, in Cuyaba, and named by him Tanagra olivina.
