1889. ] AND GENERA OF DENDROCOLAPTID&. 33 
2. PHACELLODOMUS RUFIPENNIS, Sp. nov. 
Above reddish earthy brown ; head, rump, wings, and tail brighter, 
clear rufous ; lores whitish ; wing-end pale blackish: beneath creamy 
white; breast slightly washed with rufous, and with bright shaft- 
stripes; flanks and crissum pale rufous; under wing-coverts dark 
rufous ; bill pale brown, under mandible whiter; feet pale brown. 
Whole length 8-0 inches, wing 2°7, tail 3°7. 
Hab. Bolivia. 
Mus. Brit. et P. L. S. 
This species has a general resemblance to P. ruber, but is dis- 
tinguished by its earthy-brown back and by the breast being suffused 
with rufous and marked by very narrow bright shaft-stripes. In 
P. ruber the breast is of a pure white. 
It should be remarked that, as I have lately ascertained by ex- 
amination of the specimens at Paris, the ordinary Phacellodomus 
of the Argentine Republic, which I have hitherto followed Burmeister 
and others in referring to P. ruder, is not P. ruber, but P. striati- 
collis (d’Orb. et Lafr.). 
3. THRIPOPHAGA FUSCICEPS, Sp. nov. 
Above earthy brown ; head paler, somewhat cinereous ; interscapu- 
lium washed with rufous ; edgings of wings and whole tail chestnut- 
red: beneath yellowish earthy brown, with very narrow brighter 
shaft-stripes on the breast; under wing-coverts bright rufous ; bill 
yellowish brown ; feet pale brown. Whole length 6-7 inches, wing 
9, tail 3°3. 
Hab. Bolivia (Bridges). 
Mus. Brit. 
The earthy-brown cap at once distinguishes this well-marked 
species from its congeners. 
4. PHILYDOR CERVICALIS, sp. nov. 
Philydor erythrocercus, Salv. Ibis, 1885, p. 420 (?). 
Above uniform dark olive ; rump and tail chestnut-red: beneath 
pale greyish olive ; throat white; breast slightly mottled with greyish 
olive; under wing-coverts and inner edges of remiges bright cinna- 
momeous ; bill greenish grey, with a white blotch on the lower man- 
dible; feet plumbeous. Whole length 6:3 inches, wing 3°1, tail 2°8. 
Hab. British Guiana. 
Mus. P.L.S. 
This species seems to me to be decidedly different from P. erythro- 
-cercus, although closely allied. It is distinguished by the want of 
any signs of the superciliary stripe and by the slightly mottled 
breast. My specimens were obtained at Bartica Grove and at 
Camacusa in British Guiana by Mr. Whitely. 
5. PicoLapPres PARVIROSTRIS, Sp. NOV. 
Above earthy brown; rump, margins of wing-feathers and tail 
bright ferruginous; head and neck behind, down to middle of the 
Proc. Zoox. Soc.—1889, No. III. 3
