in the colouring of both sexes. Above, the male is of a rich brick- 

 dust red, without any of the greyish tinge of P. hepatica ; below of 

 the same colour, but brighter than above. Corresponding differ- 

 ences are met with in the opposite sex — the female of P. testacea 

 being of a uniform yellowish olive above, and of a much brighter 

 yellow below, than that of P. hepatica. 



2. Chlorospingus hypoph^us. 



Supra Jlavicanti-olivaceus, loris cinereis : suhtus pallide fulves- 

 centi-fuscus ; guthire flavo, medialiter fere albicunte ; hypo- 

 chondriis et crisso olivaceo perfusis : rostro nigricanti-corneo ; 

 mandibida ad basin albicunte : pedibus fusco-olivaceis : long, 

 tota 5-5, aJcB 2-/, caudcB 2-0, tarsi 07, rostri a rictu 0-65. 

 Ilab. Yeragua, Calovevora (Arce). 



Obs, Similis C. JIavigidari ; sed crassitie minore, corpore subtus 

 fuscescente nee clare cinereo, et gutture medio albicante differt. 



Sclater's specimen of C. flavigidaris from Nanegal (P. Z. S. 



1860, p. 86) is somewhat intermediate between this species and G. 



flavigularis. It has the dull-coloured under surface of the former 



bird ; but its throat is wholly yellow, and its crissum yellowish green, 



as in the latter. 



Several specimens of C. hypophceus are in Arce's most recent col- 

 lection. The sexes, as determined by him, are marked alike. 



3. Leptotriccus superciliaris, sp. nov. 



Supra viridi-olivaceus ; alis caudaque nigricantibus, Jlavicanti- 

 olivaceo extus tnarginatis ; pileo et collo postico nigricanti- 

 cinereis, superciliis castaneis ; linea frontali et regione parotica 

 albis : subtus margaritaceo-albus, pectore, prcecipue ad latera, 

 cinereo perfuso, ventre et crisso Jtavicantibus ; subalaribus 

 albis: rostro nigro, pedibus fuscis : long, tota 4Q, alee 20, 

 caudce 2-0, rostri a rictu 0-55, tarsi 0-65. 

 Hab. Veragua, Chitra (Arce). 



This remarkable species seems to agree best in generic characters 

 with Leptotriccus sylviola of Brazil, having the long slender tarsi, 

 small delicate feet, pointed wings and long tail which distinguish 

 that form, though the bill is somewhat larger and rather wider. It 

 may be at once recognized by the small but distinctly marked super- 

 ciliary stripe, which commences above the lore and passes to the 

 back of the eve. 



The second primary is equal to the fourth in length, and hardly 

 exceeded by the third ; the fifth is barely shorter than the fourth ; 

 the first is "long, but rather shorter than the seventh. 



Two specimens of this apparently undescribed species are in 

 Arce's collection. 



4. Eupherusa egregia, sp. nov. 



Supra Icete viridis, remigibus irrimariis fuscis purpurascente 

 tinctis, secunduriis ad basin castaneis, horum autem apicibus 

 purpurascentibus : subtus nitenti-viridis, ventre albicante :
