170 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN [Feb. 2", 



We have long wished to see this species. It is very closely allied 

 to C. melpomene, but apparently sufficiently distinct to be recogni- 

 zable, being generally more olivaceous above, showing less ciunamo- 

 meous colouring, particularly on the wings, and having the whole bill 

 bright orange. 



5. Henicorhina leucosticta. 



Cyphorinus leucostictus, Cab. 



Heterorhina leucosticta et H. prostheleuca, Baird, Review, p. 117. 



Microcerculus leucostictus, Scl. et Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 34.o. 



Baird's term Heterorhina for this gioup having been employed in 

 the Coleoptera by Westwood in 1845, we propose to change it into 

 Henicorhina. 



10. Basileuterus griseiceps, sp. nov. 



Supra Jlavicanti-olivaceus : capite toto griseo, jnleo sumino nigri- 

 cantiore, superciliis brevibus albis : subtus unicolor aureo-fiavus : 

 rostro nigro, pedibus fluvis : long iota 5-3, alee 2-5, caudcc 2-2. 



Hab. Venezuela, in sylvis Caripensibus (Goering). 



Mr. Goering obtained only a single individual of this well-marked 

 species, in the neighbourhood of Caripe in June last. It is marked 

 "male: iris reddish-brown. Very rare." 



Sclater has given a synopsis of the known Basileuteri in P. Z. S. 

 1866, p. 282. The present bird may be arranged in the first section, 

 next after the red-headed species B. tnesochrgsus Sec, from which 

 it is at once distinguished by its grey head. Besides the 15 species 

 there given, Sclater has recently obtained a specimen of ^. hypoleucus 

 (Bp. Consp. p. 313) from Brazil. 



14. Hylophilus acuticauda, Lawrence, Pr. Ac. Phil. 1865, 

 p. 37. 



One skin, apparently of this species, but not in very good condi- 

 tion. It is most nearly alHed to H. itisularis, Sclater, and may even- 

 tually turn out to be the same. 



15. DiGLOSSA SIMILIS. 



Agrees with Bogota specimens of this species. It follows thatD. 

 hyperythra, Cab. Mus. Hein. i. p. 97, is a synonym of D. similis. 



34. Cardinalis phceniceus, Gould. 



" Found only on the coast, and not met with a few leagues in the 

 interior." — A. G. 



55. Philydor columbianus, Cab. et Hein. Mus. Hein. ii. 

 p. 29. 



One example from Caraccas of this species, which is alHed to P. 

 rufus, and more remotely to P. panerythrus of Bogota. 



68. Ochthoeca setophagoides. 



Tyranmda setophagoides, Bp. Att. Sc. It. vi. p. 405.
