3. On two new species of South American Biri>s. 

 By Philip Lutley Sclater. 



(Aves, PI. XL VII. XLVIII.) 



1. CuLicivoRA BOLiviANA, Sclater. C . supra plumbea ; infrh 



alba plumbeo paululhn tincta ; ventre niveo ,• fronte regions 

 oculari et genis nigris ; alls nigricantibus, tectricibus et se- 

 cundariis latk, primariis strictissimh albo limbatis ; caudd nigrd 

 later alibus rectricibus albo terminatis 4 ; extimisferi omninb 

 albis — rostra et pedibus nigris. 

 Long, tota 4|- ; alae 2^ ; caudte 2^. 

 Hab. Bolivia (Bridges), D'Orbiguy. 



The present bird is the fifth of this interesting genus, of which 

 the best known are the C. ccerulea (Linn.) of the United States, and 

 the C. dumicola (Vieill.) of Brazil and Paraguay. The Prince of 

 Canino notices two other previously unrecognized species in his ' Con- 

 spectus Avium,' p. 316. These I have never seen; but his fifth 

 species, the C. budytoides, De la Fresnaye, of which I have examined 

 the type, belongs, I believe, more properly to another genus. There 

 are specimens of the present species in the British and Paris Mu- 

 seums, and in the fine collection of the Baron de la Fresnaye at La 

 Fresnaye near Falaise. 



2. PiPRA flavo-tincta, Sclater. P. alba, Jlavo pallidk tincta ; 

 pileo alis cauddqiie cum dorso inferiore nigris ; uropygio cum 

 ventre viridescente-cinereis ; rostra nigra ; pedibus flavis. 



Long, tota 3|^ ; alse 1|; caudse \\. 



Hab. S" Fe de Bogota. 



This species is very like the common Pipra manacus, but is smaller, 

 and has the white parts of its plumage tinged with yellow and much 

 less black on the back. There are examples in the Museum of the 

 Jardin des Plantes at Paris and of the Baron de la Fresnave.
