3. Cnipodectes minor, sp. nov. 



Cnipodectes subbrunneus, Scl. et Salv. P. Z. S. IS73, p. 281. 



Similis C. subbrunneo ex ^quatoria occidentali, sedstatura minore 

 et colore corporis superi, prcecipue in capite, saturatiore brunneo 

 distinguendus. 



Hab. Eastern Peru, Chamicurros (Bartlett). 



Mus. P. L. S. 



I had not ventured to distinguish my single specimen of this bird 

 from its larger western representative. But M. Taczanowski, who is 

 engaged on a general work on the birds of Peru, has lately convinced 

 me of its difference, and has requested me to assign a name to it, 



4. AuTOMOLUS RUBIOUS, sp. nov. 



Supra tei'reno-fuscus ; pileo, capitis lateribus, uropijgio et cauda 

 ritfis ; alis extus rufescentibus, tectricibus dorso concoloribus ; 

 sublus dilutior, in ochraceum transiens ; crisso rufo ; subalaribus 

 et remigum marffinibus internis cinnamomeo-rufis ; rostri man- 

 dibida superiore cornea, inferiore albicante ; pedibus pallide 

 fuscis. Long, tola b'3, ales 3'.9, caudce rotundatce rectr. med. 3'5, 

 ext. 2'8, rostri a rictu {linea directd) 1*2. 

 Hab. Brazil (?), 

 Mus. P. L. S. 



Obs. Species crassitie A. rubiginosi, sed rostro tenuiore incurviore, 

 et pileo rufo insignis. 



My single specimen of this fine large species was obtained at the 

 dispersal of the Eyton collection, and is labelled "Brazil, Leadbeater, 

 1850." It is marked in Eyton's handwriting "Anumbius ruber, 

 d'Orb.," but is altogether a different bird. 



It has a rather thin and incurved bill for Automolus, but I know 

 not where else to place it. 



5. Anaeazenops oleagineus, sp. nov. 



Supra pallide olivaceus, in alis extus vix brunneo tinctus ; subtus 

 cineraceo-olivaceus, maculis elongatis albidis prcecipue in pectore 

 aspersus ; gutture, superciUis irregularibus et capitis lateribus 

 fulvescenti-albis ; caudatotarufo-castanea unicolore ; subalari- 

 bus et remigum marginibus internis cinnamomeis ; rostro plumbeo 

 ad basin albicante; pedibus corylinis. Long. tota6'5, alee 3'2, 

 cauda rectr. med. 3*1, ext. 2*3. 

 Hab. Northern States of Argentine Republic : Parana {Page in 

 U.S.N.M.); Catamarca (£■. W. White). 



Obs. Similis A. rufo-siiperciliato ex Brasilia, sed colore corporis 

 superi olivaceo nee brunneo, et maculis pectoris ciare definitis dis- 

 tinguendus. 



This southern form of A. rufo-superciliatus seems readily distin- 

 guishable by the characters above pointed out. The first examples 

 of it met with were sent to me by the authorities of the U. S. National 

 Museum for identification. I subsequently obtained specimens from 

 Mr. E. W. White's duplicates of the same species.
