bands on the breast are much narrower and wider apart, and grow 

 obsolete on the belly, the middle of which is almost white. The 

 white spots on each web of the tail-feathers are situated as in //a/ic- 

 tus, but are broader and squarcr in form. In the female, the plu- 

 mage above agrees with doliatus V; below, the stria- are confined to 

 the sides of the throat, this and the belly in the middle being pure 

 white, with the breast mid sides pale creamy buff.

Two specimens of this bird are in the British Museum. They 

 agree generally with Lafresnaye's characters of Thamnophilua tenui- 

 punctatus, and I am unwilling to give them a different name. But 

 the wing-feathers are exteriorly as well as interiorly spotted in these 

 specimens, and the inner as well as the outer webs of the tail-feathers 

 are crossed by narrow transverse lines. These do not extend up to 

 the shaft, but leave the web adjacent to the shaft black. As far as 

 I can understand Lafresnaye's description, he intends to say that 

 the tail-feathers are only spotted on the outer web ; and if so, his 

 species is perhaps different from the present.

This is a common Bogota species, distinguishable from '/'. doliatus 

 by the absence or little development of crest, and the head being 

 banded across like the back. The female is chestnut above, and 

 banded below like the male.
