58 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. II. 



proposed for " Hylacharis MuUer 1835," and species 

 cited H. philomela MuUer. In the Tijdschr. Nat. Ges. 

 Phys. Amster., Vol. II., p. 331, 1835, MuUer does include 

 Hylocharis, but the species-name attached is " luscinia " 

 and it is a nomen nudum, and there is no indication that 

 it is a new generic introduction, but probably simply a 

 misuse of Hyloclmris Boie. The earhest legitimate 

 introduction of Hylocharis seems to be that of Bonaparte 

 who, in the Consp. Gen. Av., Vol. I., p. 329, 1850, uses 

 it as of Cabanis 1847, and catalogues two species : 

 H. philomela Boie ( =: id., Temm., Mus. Berol =^ id. 

 Cabanis) and H. orpheus Verreaux {Pachycephala orpheus 

 Jard., Contr. Orn. 1849, Vol. Yll., cum. fig.). The former 

 is still a nomen nudum, and therefore the latter becomes 

 type by monotypy. 



The conclusion would read — 



Muscitrm Blyth 1847 

 would replace — 



Hylocharis Bonaparte 1850. 



The type of the former would be, by monotypy — 



M. cinerea Blyth 1847 = Tephrodornis grisola Blyth ; 

 and of the latter by monotypy — 



Pachycephala orpheus Jardine.
