164 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. IV. 



Latham's AUg. Ueber Vogel, Vol. 3, pt. 2, p. 545, 1798, which 

 was introduced for the species described in the note in Vol. 

 II., pt. 2, p. 431. 



The type of Carpodacus Kaup 1829 was designated by 

 Gray in 1842, Appendix List Genera Birds, p. 11, as G. rosea 

 (iPaU.) Kaup ; this is accurate and earlier than Gray 1855 

 as given by even the American ornithologists. 



Gray in Cat. Gen. Subgen. Birds, 1855, p. 44, designated 

 M. saxatilis as type of Monticola. In correcting the B.O.U. 

 List's erroneous statement, Hartert has himself erred in the 

 Pract. Handb. Brit. Birds, Vol. I., p. 421, 1920, in overlooking 

 this item. 



AMOROPELIA gen. nov. 



By Gregory M. Mathews. 



Some years ago when I pointed out the exact usage of the 

 genus name Turtur by Boddaert I was incited to provide a 

 substitute for the genus name Turtur as commonly in use, 

 but instead allowed the usage of Streptopelia. Mr. W. L. 

 Sdater has again suggested the introduction of such a name, 

 at least to be used subgenerically, and I therefore propose 

 the above name for the group of which Columba turtur L. 

 can be considered the type ; I have introduced it as a new 

 generic name, but it can be used in a subgeneric sense by 

 workers who make use of subgenera.
