OBERHOLSER | NOTES ON NOMENCLATURE OF BIRDS 65 
albogularis of Blyth, which is a Dumetia, and at the same time left 
Setaria albogularis Blyth, the type of Ophrydornis, in Malacopteron 
(Setaria) !* Since in view of these circumstances it becomes necessary 
to provide a new name for Malacopteron, it may be called Horizillas, 
from dp, limito, and ‘Adds, turdus, with Malacopteron magnum 
Eyton as the type. 
The species to be referred to this group are: 
Horizillas magna (Eyton). 
Horizillas cinerea cinerea (Eyton). 
Horizillas cinerea bungurensis (Hartert). 
Horizillas rufifrons (Cabanis). 
Horizillas palawanensis (Buttikofer).? 
Horizillas pyrrhogenys (Temminck). 
Horizillas affinis (Blyth). 
Horizillas notata (Richmond). 
Horizillas melanocephala (Davison). 
Horizillas cinereicapilla (Salvadori). 
HEDYMELA Sundevall 
The generic term Hedymela Sundevall,*? recently employed by Dr. 
Sharpe for the pied flycatchers,* is long antedated by Ficedula Bris- 
son.° The type of both is the same—WMotacilla atricapilla Linnzeeus— 
and if Brissonian genera are accepted, as is now the all but universal 
practice, the latter name (Ficedula) must be used for this group. 
The Motacilla atricapilla of Linnzus,® moreover, must give place to 
Motacilla ficedula Linneus,’ a prior name for the same species. 
Also, the bird commonly known as Muscicapa collaris Bechstein*® 
must be called Ficedula albicollis (Temminck), because Muscicapa 
collaris Bechstein® is preoccupied by Muscicapa collaris Latham, a 
synonym of Platysteira cyanea, and Muscicapa albicollis Temminck"” 
is the next available name. 
The species of this genus should consequently stand as follows:
