112 DR. P. L, SCLATER ON NEW BIRDS FROM BOGOTA. [Mar. 25, 



This species of Myiobius is closely allied to the M. pulcher of 

 Ecuador (P. Z. S. 1860, p. 464), and must be placed next to that 

 species in the order in which I have arranged the genus {I. c). It 

 is, however, easily distinguishable by its larger size and larger wings, 

 though nearly alike in coloration. 



8. Empidochanes pasciLURUS. 



Fuscescenti-griseus, pileo obscwiore ; loris fuscescentibus ; alis et 

 Cauda nigricanti-fuscis, illarum tectricum apicibus et secunda- 

 riorum marginibus externis albescentibus : subtus pallide ochra- 

 ceus, lateraliter cinerascens ; subalaribus, remigum et rectricum 

 (jnisi duarum mediaruni) marginibus internis latis et crisso rujis, 

 fere rubiginosis : rostro et pedibus nigris. 



Long, tota 5'.5, alee 2-8, caudse 2*3. 



Hab. In Nov. Granada int.

This Tyrant-bird, of which I have a single specimen, is readily 

 distinguishable by its parti-coloured tail. The inner webs of all, 

 except the medial pair, are broadly margined with clear rufous. This 

 colour increases towards the base, and gradually occupies the whole 

 of the vane. The outer tail-feather is also narrowly margined with 

 the same colour. The under wing-coverts and inner margins of the 

 quills are likewise similarly coloured. The fourth primary is rather 

 longer than the third, which slightly exceeds the fifth, and longest ; 

 the second is slightly shorter than the third, the first being of about 

 the same length as the eighth and ninth. 



This bird has much the general appearance of an Empidonax, 

 though abnormal in colouring. I place it for the present as a second 

 species of the allied southern genus Empidochanes, of which the type 

 is Muscicapa oliva, Bodd. (PL Enl. h7A. fig. 2). This generic term 

 I propose to use in the place of Myiophobus of Cabanis and Heine, 

 as the latter name was previously given by Reichenbach to Myiobius 

 ncevius^, for which and its allies I venture to employ it.

1 9. Urochroma stictoptera. (PI. XI.) 



Psittaceo-viridis : alis extus nigris, macula in mediis tectricibus 

 roseo-rubra ; remigum marginibus externis et secundariis dorso 

 proximis viridibus : caudcs rectricibus intus paululum aure- 

 scentibus : rostro pallido : pedibus fuscis. 

 Long, tota 6*0, alse 5*0, caudse 2*5. 

 Hab. In Nov. Granada int. 



Obs. This parrot appears to belong to the group called Urochroma 

 by Prince Bonaparte, but is quite different from any known member 

 of that section. The tail is nearly square at its termination, the 

 two medial rectrices being slightly acuminated, the others rounded, 

 but presenting the appearance of being rather worn. '^
