M. barbatus et M. xanthopygius, Scl. Cat. A. B. p. 225. 



Sta. Elena. (Mus. S. G.) 



Under the name of M. barbatus we are now disposed to unite the 

 Brazilian and more northern forms kept separate in Sclater's 

 Catalogue. The Panama bird, M. atricaudus, Lawrence (Ibis, 1863,

179. Myiobius villosus, Scl. P. Z. S. 1860, pp. 93, 465.

 cognize it as distinct, though very closely allied.

" At the extremity of the horizontal branch of a tree I have seen 

 this nest beautifully constructed of coarse grass interwoven like 

 basketwork with other materials, as moss and leaves. The body of 

 the nest is formed of very long grass, which is carried along the
