Al. 51^, caud. 35|, culm. 12|, tars. 18 mm. 



Habitat : Colombia (found in Bogota collections) . 



Typus : in Mus. H. y. B. 



The unique type, in the museum Berlepsch, evidently 

 represents quite a distinct new species. It is of the known 

 make of Bogota skins, and was picked out by me from 

 a large lot of Bogota skins forwarded by a plumassier of 

 Berlin. It is easily to be distinguished from specimens of 

 T. schistaceiceps by the uniform dark schistaceous colour 

 of the lower parts of the body, without any white on the 

 lower belly. The upper part of the head is also darker, 

 nearly black ; the green of the back and the yellowish- 

 green of the wing-bands show darker tints, and the under 

 wing-coverts are olivaceous instead of yellow.

Habitat .- Ourém (Rio Guaina), Prov. Brasiliae Para. 



Typus : in Mus. H. v. B. : S ad. Ourém, Pio Guamâ, 

 3rd February, 1894. (A. Schulz leg. No. 105.) 



T. schistaceiceps Sci., a common bird in Central America, 

 East Columbia, and Venezuela has not yet been recorded 

 from Brazil. The bird collected by Mr. Schulz near Ourém on 

 the Pio Guamâ, in the province of Para, is evidently a near 

 ally of that species, but is easily to be distinguished by its 

 much darker colours, and by the larger and middle wing- 

 coverts being pure black, without a greenish border to the 

 outer webs, the greenish-yellow tips being clearer and more 

 sharply separated from the black bases, the upper part of the 

 head is blacker, the back a darker olive-green, while the 

 breast and the sides of the body are of a darker and purer 

 ashy-grey. 



Mr. O. Reiser has lately found the same bird in Piauhy.
