66 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS [voL. 48 
Ficedula ficedula ficedula (Linnzus). 
Ficedula ficedula speculigera (Bonaparte). 
Ficedula semitorquata (Homeyer). 
Ficedula albicollis (Temminck). 
CHENORHAMPHUS Oustalet 
Chenorhamphus Oustalet,* based on Chenorhamphus cyano pectus 
Oustalet (— Todopsis grayi Wallace), is rendered untenable by 
Chenoramphus Gray? of which the type is Ardea oscitans Boddaert. 
Since it has no other name it may be called Conopotheras, from 
zwvwzoOnpas, muscicapa. 
The type and sole species is: 
Conopotheras grayi (Wallace). 
HELMINTHOPHILA Ridgway 
The name Helminthophila Ridgway,’ long in use for a genus of 
Mniotiltide in place of the preoccupied Helminthophaga Cabanis, * 
must itself be supplanted by Vermivora Swainson’ of much earlier 
date. Swainson evidently intended Vermivora as the generic name 
for Sylvia vermivora Wilson (== Helmitheros vermivorus Auct. 
recent.), and he so published it;’ but in another article previously 
appearing, he made use of this term’ in combination with Sylvia 
solitaria Wilson (— Certhia pinus Linneus), which species therefore 
becomes the type of the genus. Furthermore, V ermivora Swainson is 
not, as often considered, preoccupied by “ Vermivora” Meyer,® for 
this latter is merely a group name—“ Vermivore,” and not used in 
a generic sense at all. 
The species of this genus should therefore stand as: 
Vermivora chrysoptera (Linnzus). 
Vermivora lawrenceii (Herrick). 
Vermivora leucobronchialis (Brewster ).° 
Vermivora pinus (Linneus).
