238 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON NEW [ Mar. 16, 
16. RuprcoLa PERUVIANA (Vieill.). 
San Cristoval is the most eastern locality yet noted for the Peru- 
vian Cock-of-the-Rock, which extends hence throughout the chain 
of the Andes into Bolivia. (See our remarks on the distribution of 
Rupicola, Ex. Orn. p. 29.) 
27. CHLORONERPES XANTHOCHLORUS, Sp. nov. 
Fem. Supra olivaceus, pileo toto cum nucha et linea utrinque a 
rictu ud cervicem ducta brunnescenti-flavis: capitis lateribus 
fuscis: subtus brunnescenti-flavus, nisi in gula crebre fusco 
transfasciatus : remigum marginibus internis clare rufis immacu- 
latis ; horum apicibus nigricantibus : cauda olivacea, rectricum 
apicibus nigricantibus: rostro et pedibus nigris: long. tota 
8, ale 5, caude 2°9, rostri a rictu 11. 
Hab. San Cristoval, prov. Tachira, Venezuela (Goering). 
Obs. Similis feminz C. chrysochlori, sed pileo aureo diversus. 
Of this Chloronerpes Mr. Goering obtained a single example at 
San Cristoval. It appears to be the female of the species, nearly 
related to C. chrysochlorus of Brazil, of which there is a female in 
Sclater’s collection. From this Mr. Goering’s bird is conspicuously 
different, in that the head and nape are of a bright brownish yellow, 
instead of being olive like the back, as is the case in C. chrysochlorus. 
The male of C. cunthochlorus will, no doubt, have more or less red 
on the head, as is the case in the allied species. 
32. Carica PyRILIA, Bp. 
A single specimen of this beautiful Parrot was obtained by Mr. 
Goering at San Cristoval, and is now in Salvin and Godman’s col- 
lection. See our note on this species in Mr. Wyatt’s article on the 
Birds of Columbia (Ibis, 1871, p. 381). 
5. Descriptions of new Species of Sphingide. 
By Arruur G. Butter, F.L.S., F.Z.8., &e. 
[Received March 4, 1875.] 
(Plates XXXVI. & XXXVI.) 
In consequence of the numerous new species discovered in Mr. 
Moore’s rich collection of Eastern Sphingide, it has been proposed 
that I should relieve my memoir on this subject by forming a sepa- 
rate paper of the descriptions of them for the ‘ Proceedings.’ I 
have, however, left one or two new forms in the original paper, 
either because the descriptions were very short and the species un- 
important, or because I considered it advisable to have certain cha- 
racters before the eye of the student when examining into the species 
which I have separated in a genus. 
The characters of the subfamilies and of most of the new genera 
are retained in the above-mentioned revision: descriptions of larve 
are also, for the most part, left in that paper.
