74 MR. O. SALVIN ON NEW BIRDS FROM VERAGUA. [Jan. 23, 



P. macleannani, Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lye. ; and P. trivittatus (Scl.), 

 P. Z. S. 1857, p. 47. Pyriylena ellisiana, Scl. P. Z. S. 1855, p. 109, 

 pi. 100 (Phloyopsis ellisiana, Cat. Suppl. 1 160*), belongs elsewhere. 

 This leaves seven species for Formicarius, which I now enumerate, 

 having before me examples of all the species. 



Sect. a. Sp. aff. F. cayennensi, pileo castaneo, loris omnino nigris. 



(1.) F. cayennensis, Bodd. ex Buffon, PI. Enl. 821, et juv. 

 827; Scl. P. Z. S. 1858, p. 277. 



The last reference gives the numerous synonyms of this species. 



Supra olivaceo-brunneus ; reyione oculari, yula et pectore niyri- 

 cantibus, pileo toto castaneo-fulvo ; corpore subtus et crisso 

 fuscis ; alula spuria extus castanea. 



Long, tota 6 - 75 poll., alse 3\3, caudae 2*2, tarsi 1*15. 



Hab. in Guiana, Cayenne, et Brasilia. 



A specimen in our collection from South-east Brazil has the head 

 much more lightly coloured than one in Dr. Sclater's collection, 

 which agrees with others in the British Museum. I have not, 

 however, from my present materials, been able to detect other differ- 

 ences sufficient to warrant its separation. Young birds have the 

 lores white — a character of the moniliger group. 



(2.) F. nigrifrons, Gould, Ann. N. H. ser. 2. xv. p. 344, et 

 P. Z. S. 1855, pp. 68, 145 ; Scl. P. Z. S. 1858, p. 277. 



Similis prcecedenti, sed f route nigra; unyue postico breviore et de- 



biliore. 

 Long, tota 6'75 poll., alse 3 - 3, caudae 2'0, tarsi T15. 

 Hab. in Eastern Pern, New Granada. 

 The colouring of the head agrees with Cayenne specimens. 



Sect. b. Sp. aff. F. anali, loris omnino nigris. 



(3.) F. analis, D'Orb. & Lafr. Mag. de Zool. 1837, p. 14 ; 

 D'Orb. Voy. p. 191, pi. 6. f. 1 ; Bp. Consp. p. 205 ; Scl. P. Z. S. 

 1860, p. 294. 



Sujjra brunneus, capite toto et corpore subtus ad ventrem niyri- 

 cantibus, abdomine fidiyinoso, crisso vivide rufo. 



Long, tota 7 poll., alas 3'75, caudae 2*1, tarsi 1*3. 



Hab. in Bolivia, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica. 



A specimen in our collection from Costa Rica has the bill much 

 larger than the two from Ecuador in Dr. Sclater's collection. It 

 is also larger in all its dimensions, except in the length of the tarsi. 

 A young bird from Veragua exhibits the precise plumage of the 

 adult. 



(4.) F. rufipectus, Salv. {vide supra). 

 Hab. in Veragua.
