18 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON THE GENUS SYNALLAXIS. [Jail. 6, 



Synallaxis phryganophila, D'Orb. Voy. Ois. p. 239 ; Bp. Consp. 

 p. 213 ; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 193, et Cat. A. B. p. 152 ; Pelz.

Synallaxis tecellata, Temm. PI. Col. 311. f. 1. 



Fusca : dorso superiore fronte et alis extus nigro strialis : tectri- 



cibus alarum minoribus cum pileo summo rufis : sublus pallide 



fusca; mento flavo : plaga gutturali nigra ; cauda elongata fusca, 



rhachibus nigricantibus : long, tota 8 "5, ala 2 - 4, cauda 4*6. 



Hab. Corrientes, rep. Arg. (D'Orb.) ; Parana (Burm.) ; Paraguay 



(Asara) ; Monte Video (Sellow) ; Cuyaba (Natt.). 



This well-marked species stands quite by itself as regards plumage 

 and form. The rectrices are much graduated, the small outer pair 

 measuring only 1*4 inch from the insertion.

33. Synallaxis rutilans.

This is also a well-marked species, which seems to stand by itself. 

 It has rather a wide distribution, as will be seen by the list of 

 localities.
