I 176 MR. C. E. HELLMAYR ON THE 



uniform blackish primary coverts, the whitish apical spots to the 

 ■wing-coverts, the black superciliary stripe, etc. Although closely 

 allied to P. rufofileaUmn Hart. *, from North-western Ecuador, 

 it differs from both sexes of that species t in having no dusky 

 cross-bands whatever on the lower parts. In P. 7-ifjfopileatum the 

 male has the under surface of the body, with the exception of 

 the flanks, regularly barred with black and white, the black 

 markings of the throat being often broken and less pronounced, 

 though always present, while only the sides of the head are 

 ochraceous. The superciliary stripe (uniform black), back and 

 upper wing-coverts are exactly as in P. rosenbergi. The female 

 of P. rufopileatum agrees with the latter in the ochraceous throat, 

 but can, of course, be easily distinguished by having the feathers 

 of the superciliary region white, edged with black, and the lower 

 parts (posterior to throat) bright ochraceous narrowly banded 

 across with dusky olive. Besides, the back is much more decidedly 

 brown, and the apical spots to the wing-coverts are bright buff 

 Instead of white. 



133. CONOPOPHAGA CASTANEICEPS CASTANEICEPS Scl. 



Gonopophaga castaneiceps Sclater, P. Z. S. xxiv. p. 47 (1857 — ■ 

 part., type from Bogota, Colombia ; = c? ), 



C. gutiuralis idem, 1. c. 1868, p. 574 (Bogota ; = $ ). 



No. 3779. $ ad. La Selva, Rio Jamaraya, 4600 ft., l.x.09.— 

 Wing 72 ; tail 39 ; bill \^ mm, 



" Iris dark brown, feet grey, maxilla black, mandible grey." 



This bird corresponds with Sclater's description of C.gutturcdis. 

 Tt has the back rather more brownish than a Bogota skin, but 

 does not differ otherwise. This is, so far as I know, the first 

 record of C. castaneiceps from the Western Cordillei'a of Colombia. 



In Peru it is replaced by a closely allied form, G. c. hfunneinucha 

 Berl. & Stolzm.J The female of G. c. castarieiceps, in general 

 coloration, is much like Grallarictda cucuUata Scl., but may 

 easily be recognized by its white postocular stripe (" pencil").

+ Tbe bird figured in Nov. Zool. ix. 1902, pi. viii. fig. 2 as "juv." is really 

 the adult female. This is quite evident from the large series, partly in the Tring 

 Museum, partly in the possession of Mr. Rosenberg, which I have examined.
