3. Cnipodectes minor, sp. nov. 



Cnipodectes subbrumieus, Scl. et Salv. P. Z. S. 1S73, p. 281. 



Similis C. subbruniieo ex ^quatoria occidentali, sedstatura minore 

 et colore corporis superi, prcecipue in capite, saturatiore brunneo 

 distinguendus. 



Hah. Eastern Peru, Chamicurros (Bartlett), 



Mus. P. L. S. 



I had not ventured to distinguish my single specimen of this bird 

 from its larger western representative. But M. Taczanowski, who is 

 engaged on a general work on the birds of Peru, has lately convinced 

 me of its difference, and has requested me to assign a name to it. 



4. AuTOMOLXJs RUBiDus, sp. nov. 



Supra terreno-fuscus ; pileo, capitis lateribus, tiropygio et cauda 

 rufis ; alis extus rufescentibus, fectricibus dorso concoloribus ; 

 subtus dilutior, in ochraceum transiens ; crisso rufo ; subalaribus 

 et remigum marginibus internis cinnamomeo-rufts ; rostri man- 

 dibula superiore cornea, inferiore albicante ; pedibus pallide 

 fuscis. Long, tota 8'3, aim 3' 9, caudce rotundatce rectr. med. 3*5, 

 ext. 28, rostri a rictu {linea directa) 1"2. 

 Hah. Brazil (?), 

 Mus. P. L. S. 



Obs. Species crassitie A. rubiginosi, sed rostro tenuiore iucurviore, 

 et pileo rufo insignis. 



My single specimen of this fine large species was obtained at the 

 dispersal of the Eyton collection, and is labelled "Brazil, Leadbeater, 

 1850." It is marked in Eyton's handwriting "Anumbius ruber, 

 d'Orb.," but is altogether a different bird. 



It has a rather thin and incurved bill for Automolus, but I know 

 not where else to place it. 



5. Anabazenops oleagineus, sp. nov. 



Supra pallide olivaceus, in alis extus vix brunneo tinctus ; subtus 

 cineraceo-olivaceus, maculis elongatis albidis pi'oscipue in pectore 

 aspersus ; gutture, superciliis irregularibus et capitis lateribus 

 fulvescenti-albis ; cauda tota rufo-castanea unicolore ; subalari- 

 bus et remigum marginibus internis cinnantonieis ; rostro plumbeo 

 ad basin albicante; pedibus corylinis. Long, tota 6'5, alee 3*2, 

 caudce rectr. med. 3"1, ext. 2'3. 

 Hab. Northern States of Argentine Republic : Parana {Page in 

 U. S. N. M.) ; Catamarca (E. W. White). 



Obs. Similis A. rufo-superciliato ex Brasilia, sed colore corporis 

 superi olivaceo nee brunneo, et maculis pectoris clare definitis dis- 

 tinguendus. 



This southern form of ^. rufo-superciliatus seems readily distin- 

 guishable by the characters above pointed out. The first examples 

 of it met with were sent to me by the authorities of the U. S. National 

 Museum for identification. I subsequently obtained specimens from 

 Mr. E. W. White's duplicates of the same species.
