TIARIS Swainson 
Doctor Charles W. Richmond has already shown? that Tiaris Swain- 
son? belongs properly to Euetheia, but he failed to provide a name 
for the consequently nameless group of South American Fringillidze 
for which Tiaris has commonly been employed. This, therefore, 
may be called Charitospiza, from yéprc, gratia, and oxfa, fringilla. 
The type and only species, Fringilla ornata Wied,* needs a new 
specific designation on account of the earlier Fringilla ornata Vieil- 
lot, * and as it has no synonyms, may be known as: 
Charitospiza eucosma Oberholser. 
COTURNICULUS Bonaparte 
An earlier name for Coturniculus Bonaparte® is found in Ammo- 
dramus Swainson,° the real type of which is Ammodramus bimacu- 
latus Swainson—not, as commonly considered, Fringilla caudacuta 
Wilson (= Oriolus caudacutus Gmelin)... This is a case precisely 
similar to those of Xiphorhynchus and Tiaris, since the first use of 
Ammodramus® is in the original description of Ammodramus bimacu- 
latus, the western continental form of Ammodramus savannarum 
(Gmelin), antedating by several months the publication of an article 
wherein Fringilla caudacuta Wilson is given as the type.” 
The forms of this group will be therefore once more in possession 
of their former generic designation, and pass as:
