446 MR. SCLATER ON NEW SPECIES OF SYNALLAX1S. [Junel6, 



blackish freckles. There is a pale superciliary stripe, but very in- 

 distinct. The wings externally and the tail are of a nearly uniform 

 darkish rufous, with the exception of the apical portion of the inner 

 webs of the two middle pairs of rectrices, which are blackish. 



2. Synallaxis graminicola, sp. nov. (Plate LVIII. fig. 2.) 

 Synallaxis graminicola, Jelski, MS. 



Supra fusca nigro striata; subtus pallide fulva, macula gulce 

 quadrata rufa : remigibus omnibus rufo-castaneis, secundariis 

 dorso proximis et ceterorum parte apicali fusco-nigris ; alarum 

 tectricibus extus fulvescenti-rufis ; subalaribus et remigum mar- 

 ginibus internis pure rvjis : cauda rectricibus tribus utrinque 

 externis castaneis, ceteris prcecipue in pogonio externa fusco 

 variegatis, mediis duabus acuminatis et in utroque pogonio fuscis ; 

 rectricum omnium scapis nigris : rostro corylino, mandibula infe- 

 riore ad basin albicante, pedibus carneis : long, tota 6'8, alee 2'9, 

 caudce rectr. med. 3*5, ext. 2. 

 Hub. Junin, Central Peru (Jelski). 

 Mus. Varsoviano. 



Obs. Sp. S. wyatti, ex Columbia, affinis, sed macula guise rufa, 

 pectore fulvo et alis caudaque longioribus distinguenda. 



This is certainly a close ally of S. wyatti, established in 1870 upon 

 a single skin obtained by Mr. Wyatt on the Paramo of Pamplona, 

 in Columbia, but appears to be a larger, finer bird, of a nearly uniform 

 rich cinnamomeous below, and with a distinct red gular spot as in 

 S. anthoides. 



3. Synallaxis virgata, sp. nov. 

 Synallaxis virgata ?, Jelski, MS. 



Supra fusca nigro variegata et a fronte usque ad dorsum medium 

 striis longitudinalibus albis in capite rufescentibus ornata : subtus 

 alba, gula media flavicunti-rufa ; hypchondriis et ventre imo 

 pallide fuscis, albo obsolete striolatis : alis fusco-nigris; remigibus 

 in pogonio interno ad basin rujis, necnon extus rufo limbalis ,- sub- 

 alaribus cinnamomeo-rufis : cauda fusco-nigra remigibus externis 

 rufescente variegatis : )-ostro elongato ccerulescenti-corneo ; pedi- 

 bus obscure plumbeis : long, tota 7"4, alee 2 - 9, cauda rectr. med. 

 3"8, ext. 2*0, rostri a rictu 085. 

 Hab. Junin, Central Peru (Jels/.i). 

 Mus. Varsoviano. 



Obs. Proxima S.fammulata, sed crassitie majore, dorso inferiore 

 non striato et pectore medio albo diversa. 



This larger form of S.flammulata is readily distinguishable by the 

 points above mentioned, and is, as far as I can tell from the single 

 specimen obtained by M. Jelski, an excellent species. 



Adding, then, three species to those previously sent by M. Jelski, 

 we find that no less than ten Synallaxes occur in this district of 

 Peru, namely : —
