After examination of all the described species except melanotis and 

 pyrrhops (of which, however, there is an apparently excellent plate — PI. IX, 

 Cat. B. M.), I agree with Mr. Ridgway (c/. Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 1912, 

 p. 100) that Pionopsitta with pileatus as the type, is monotypic. The re- 

 maining species (except melanotis) I allot generically as follows : 



Eucinetus Rchw. (J. f. 0., 1881 p. 353, Type Psittacus caica Lath.) 



1. Eucinetus caica (Lath). 



2. " hcematotis (Scl. & Salv.) 



3. " coccineicollaris (Lawr.) 



4. " barrabandi (Kuhl) 



5. " pulchra (Berl.) 



Pyrilia Bp. (Naumania, 1856, Type Psittacula pyrilia Bp.) 



1. Pyrilia pyrilia (^■p.) 

 Hapalopsittaca Ridgw. (Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 1912, p. 100, Type 

 Psittacus amazoninus Des Murs). 



1. Hapalopsittaca amazonina (Des Murs) 



2. " pyrrhops (Salv.) 



3. " fuertesi (Chapm.) • 



(879) Pyrilia pyrilia (Bonap.). 



Psittacula pyrilia Bonap., Compt Rend., XXXVII, 1853, p. 807 (" New Granada" 

 = Rio Hacha e. of Santa Marta, vide Sol. & Salv., Ibis, 1871, p. 381). 



Caica pyrilia Wyatt, Ibis, 1871, p. 381 (Canta; San Nicolas; Paturia); Scl. & 

 Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 538 (Remedios). 



Inhabits the humid Tropical Zone of the Atrato, lower Caucd, and 

 Magdalena Valleys and evidently ranges upward to at least 9000 feet. 



This species is obviously not congeneric with Pionopsitta pileata, nor 

 can I refer it to either Eucinetus or Hapalopsittaca. Its bare orbital and 

 loral region and the character of the skin about the base of the bill do not 

 appear to be shared by any species of these genera.

(890) Fionites melanocephala pallidus (Berl.). 



Caica melanocephala pallida Berl., J. f. O., 1889, p. 317 (Yurimaguas, Peru). 



A pair from Amazonian Colombia agrees with one from eastern Ecuador, 

 and differs from lower Orinoco examples in having the flanks, etc. yellow.
