Sclater's collection contains a single skin of this Dendrocincla, 

 which was obtained near the city of Panama by the late Mr. AVilliam 

 Thomas Hodgetts Chambers-Hodgetts (formerly Chambers) during 

 a temporary visit to the isthmus. It is, perhaps, the species indi- 

 cated by Mr. Lawrence as Bendromanes homochrous (Ann. L. N. Y. 

 viii. p. 46G), but is certainly distinct. We are now inclined to con- 

 sider Sclater's genus Dendromanes to be only subgenerically distinct 

 from Bendrocincla, of which group the following species are known 

 to us. 



a. Dendromanes. 



1 . D. anabatina, Sclater, ex Mexico et Guatemala. 



2. D. homochroa, Sclater, ex Mexico et Guatemala. 



3. B. rnficeps, nobis, ex Panama. 



4. B. merida (Licht.), ex Guiana et Amazonia. 

 .5. B. mendoides (Lafr.), ex Venezuela. 



b. Bendrocincla. 



6. B./umigata (Licht.), ex Brasil. 



7. B. atrirostris (Lafr.), ex Boliv., Nov. Granada, rep. ^Equator, 

 et Panama. 



8. B. longicauda, Pelzeln, ex Amazonia. 



9. B. tyrannina (Lafr.), ex Nov. Granada. 

 10. B. turdina (Licht.), ex Brasil. 



Of all these ten species there are specimens in Sclater's col- 

 lection. 



We are not acquainted with B. minor, lately described by Ilcrr 

 von Pelzeln, * Orn. Bras.' p. GO. 



2. Dendrocolaptes puncticollis, sp. nov. (PI. V.) 



Bendrocolaptes multistrigatus, Scl. et Salv. Ibis, 1860, p. 27.'>
