5/0 MR. W. S. ATKINSON ON A NEW BUTTERFLY. [June 17, 



most tinged with red on the basal portion of the inner web, forming 

 no distinct spot. Bill and cere blackish, at the base passing into 

 hornish grey. Feet dark plumbeous ; nails black ; iris yellow, with 

 an outer circle of red. 



Whole length 14g, wing 7*5, tail 4'4 in. 



Hub. America ; certain locality unknown. 



When visiting the magnificent Zoological Gardens at Berlin, the 

 Secretary of the Society called my attention to this Parrot, which 

 he could not find in my monograph, and which he considered to be 

 new. A short time afterwards the specimen died, and by the kindness 

 of Dr. Bodinus was forwarded to me, After a careful comparison, 

 I have no doubt of the validity of this new species. Chr. bodini, 

 which I take liberty to name after my friend Dr. Bodinus, the cele- 

 brated restorer and director of the Zoological Gardens at Berlin, 

 comes, in respect of its red rump, nearest to C. /estiva, L., from 

 which species it differs greatly in having the front and sinciput red, 

 in the lilac-blue edgings of the feathers on the cheeks and chin, in 

 the dark tips on the nape and hind neck, and in the want of blue on 

 the tectrices of the primaries and spurious wing. 



The specimen described above proved upon dissection to be a 

 female. 



I beg leave to take this opportunity of stating that, in my opinion, 

 Conurus glaucifrons, shortly described by Dr. Leybold (" Beschrei- 

 bungen einiger Thiere und Pflanzen aus den Anden Chile's und der 

 Argentinischen Provinzen," in 'Leopoldina' &c. Heft viii. No. 7, 

 Marz 1873, p. 52), from the Argentine Republic, is nothing else than 

 Coriwus acuticaudatus, Vieill. (Finsch, Papag. i. p. 450), described 

 already by Professor Burmeister as new, under the name Conurus 

 fugax (Journ. f. Ornith. 1860, p. 243).

 the fourth somewhat nearer to the origin of the third ; upper disco-
