107 [Vol. xl. 
Type. Bellenden Ker, Queensland. Collected June 1889. 
This form is so distinct that it is probably a species. 
[The birds described by me on pp. 44-45, 75-76 were 
collected by Mr. Tom Carter, G.M.M.] 
Mr. Caries Cuuss sent the following descriptions of 
new genera and new subspecies of South and Central 
American birds :— 
Dendrocinclopa, gen. nov. 
The species which J propose for separation under the 
above title is allied to D. longicauda Pelz., which was 
included in the genus Deconychura Cherrie by Brabourne 
and Chubb in their ‘ List of the Birds of South America.’ 
It differs, however, from the type of that genus in having 
twelve tail-feathers instead of ten. It differs also from 
the type of Dendrocincla Gray in having a more slender 
bill and the barbless tips to the shafts of the tail-feathers 
more extended. Type D. guianensis (Chubb). 
Vavasouria, gen. nov. 
The species which I propese to separate under the above 
designation was included by Brabourne and Chubb, as well 
as other authors, in the genus Casmarhynchus Temm. = 
Procnias Illiger : type Ampelis variegatus (Gmel.). It 
differs, however, from that genus by having a single wattle 
on the fore part of the head and the lores and throat 
feathered. Type Ampelis nivea (Boddaert). 
The female of this species differs from Procnias variegatus 
in having smaller wings, bill, and feet. 
Calloprocnias, gen. nov. 
The species that I propose to separate under the above 
title has also been included by previous authors in the 
genus Casmarhynchos Temm.=Proenias Llliger. It differs, 
however, from the type of that genus in having three 
wattles, one on the forehead at the base of the culmen and
