For this curious form, which will not go with either of the genera 

 to which it has been hitherto referred, we propose the new generic 

 term Cnipodectes *. It is a larger and stronger form of Myiobius, 

 and should be placed next to that genus.

" Upper and Lower Ucayali and Santa Cruz. This pretty little 

 bird appears to be common throughout the two rivers I visited. It 

 is always found on the banks of the river, where it breeds in the 

 holes of dead trees. The eggs much resemble those of Muscicapa 

 yrisola of Britain, having the markings closer round the middle than 

 at the extremities." — E. B.
