354 My. O. Salvin on South-American Birds 
Dr. Burmeister gives Mendoza and Parana as localities 
where this bird is found. 
8. CoryPHosPINGUs cRIsTATUS (Gm.). 
Coryphospingus cristatus, Scl. Cat. Am. B. p. 109. 
Salta, 13th June. “ Iris wood-brown; beak and feet pale 
slate, upper mandible darker.” 
2, Salta, 22nd June. 
Not noticed by Dr. Burmeister. 
9. CoryPHosPiNGus PusiLLus (Burm.). (Plate IX. fig. 1.) 
Gubernatriz pusilla, Burm. J. f. Orn. 1860, p. 254. 
Lophospiza pusilla, Burm. La Plata-Reise, 1. p. 483. 
Lophospingus pusilla, Cab. J. f. Orn. 1878, p. 195; Scl. 
P. Z.S. 1879, p. 460. 
Tucuman, 2nd June. “ Iris light brown; beak flesh-colour, 
upper mandible and tips of both dark horn; legs and feet 
slate-colour.” 
This species must certainly be placed in the same genus as 
Coryphospingus griseocristatus, as has been suggested by Mr. 
Sclater. But the propriety of separating these two birds from 
Coryphospingus under the generic name Lophospingus seems 
doubtful. As C. pusillus is a little-known bird, the accom- 
panying figure, taken from Durnford’s specimen, will be 
acceptable. 
Dr. Burmeister first discovered this Finch near Tucuman ; 
and since then it has been found near Cordova by Dr. Doring. 
10. PoospizA MELANOLEUCA (Vieill.). (Plate IX. fig. 2.) 
Emberiza melanoleuca, @ Orb. & Lafr. Syn. Ay. 1. p. 82. 
Poospiza melanoleuca, Burm. La Plata-Reise, 11. p. 484. 
2, Tucuman, Ist June. “ Iris light red; beak, legs, and 
feet black.” 
Though Dr. Burmeister says that this species is common in 
the La Plata States, Banda Oriental, and Entre Rios, specimens 
of it are seldom seen in this country. Two in the Strickland 
collection at Cambridge are the only ones that I have pre- 
viously met with.
