(2434) Automolus holostictus Scl. & Sah. 



Automolus holostictus Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1875, p. 542 (Frontino, Col.); Ibid., 

 1879, p. 522 (Sta. Elena). 



Inhabits the Subtropical and Temperate Zones. Our specimens of 

 this species were taken in the Central and Eastern Andes. 



Accepting Wied's " Anabates leucopthalmus" as the type of Automolus 

 it is clear that the present species is not properly referable to that genus. 

 Its affinities appear rather to be with Thripadectes. As in similar cases, 

 where generic separation should, in my opinion, be based only on a study 

 of all the species concerned, I follow Brabourne and Chubb's list.

(2435) Automolus ignobilis Scl. & Sah. 

 Automolus ignobilis Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 522 (Frontino, Antioquia). 



A male from Cocal and a female from Cerro Munchique indicate that this 

 species (which, obviously, is far from being a true Automolus) inhabits the 

 Subtropical Zone of the Western Andes. We have not found it elsewhere.

Anabates melanorhynchus Tsch.,- Arch, fiir Naturg., 1844, 1, p. 295 (Peru). 



Represented only by a single specimen collected at Buena Vista, above 

 Villavicencio. I have no material for comparison.

(2441) Automolus ochrolsemus turdinus (Pelz.). 

 Anabates turdinus Pelz., Sitz. Akad. Wien, XXXIV, 1859, p. 110 (Rio Negro). 



Found by us only in the Tropical Zone at the eastern base of the Eastern 

 Andes. Hellmayr (Nov. Zool., XIV, 1907, p. 365) refers Bogota birds to 

 the form here given. I have no material for comparison.

Automolus dorsalis Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1880, p. 158 (Sarayacu, Ecuador). 



Two specimens from La Morelia and one from Florencia agree with two 

 from Zamora near the type-locality. A third Zamora specimen has the
