322 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON NEW AMERICAN BIRDS. [May 22, 



marginatis : rostro pallide corneo, pedibus dilute corglinis : 

 long, tota 4"3, alee 2"3, caudce 1*9, tarsi 07. 



Hub. in Brasil. mend. prov. Matto Grosso et Rio de Janeiro 

 {Natterer, sp. no. 152). 



Mus. Vindob. et P. L. S. 



Obs. Similis H. thoracico, Temm. (PI. Col. 173. f. 1), sed fronte 

 cinerea nee flavicante et colore pectoris saturatius flavo, pedibus quo- 

 que pallidioribus distinguendus. 



I obtained a single example of this species in exchange from the 

 Vienna Museum in 1864, through the kind offices of Herr von Pel- 

 zeln. The only described Hylophilus which resembles it is H. tho- 

 racicus, from which it is easily recognizable by the differential cha- 

 racters given above. The first (spurious) primary in the present 

 species measures about 0"8 inch from the insertion, and is 0"7 inch 

 shorter than the second. The third is rather shorter than the next 

 four following, which are nearly equal and longest. 



Natterer's MS. notes upon this species (his no. 152), as obligingly 

 communicated to me by Herr von Pelzeln, are as follows : — " Sapa- 

 tiba, 28 March, 1818, adult female, found on low trees in the forest: 

 Iris light reddish grey ; bill blue grey ; feet bright reddish-blue grey 

 or dirty liliac ; feet strong and, like the bill, very Parus-\\ke. A male, 

 which had moulted all its tail-feathers, was of the same colours." 

 At Rio de Janeiro, in February 1821, Natterer obtained another 

 example of this species from trees in a garden, out of a flock of 

 three, and further remarks, " Nostrils round, uncovered ; tongue 

 fleshy and pointed." 



5. Hylophilus brvjnneiceps, sp. nov.

 olivaceo limbatis : subtus albus, gutture et pectore brunneo 

 parum tinctis : subalaribus Jlavicantibus : rostro et pedibus 

 fuscis: long, tota 4"0, alee 2'2, caudce 1*6. 

 Hab. in Brasil. merid., Ypanema (Natterer).

' I am not acquainted with any species of Hylophilus nearly re- 

 sembling the present bird, for an example of which I am again in- 

 debted to Herr von Pelzeln and the authorities of the Imperial Ca- 

 binet. The first (spurious) primary in this species measures about 

 0*8 inch from its insertion. The second is about 0'65 longer. The 

 third is slightly shorter than the four next following, which are nearly 

 equal and longest. 



Natterer's notes on this species (his no. 3/1) are as follows: — 

 "Ypanema, April 1819, in the underwood, on middling-sized trees, 

 out of a little flock— male ; irides dark brown ; beak above dark 

 grey, below bluish grey ; nostrils oval, exposed ; feet strong, light 

 lead-colour." Other localities for the same species are Curytiba, 

 Ytarare, and Jaguaraiba.
