(2679) Mecocerculus stictopterus {ScL). 

 Elainia stictoptera Scl., P. Z. S., 1858, p. 554, pi. 146, fig. 2 (Matos, &o.). 



Inhabits the Temperate Zone of all three ranges. I have seen no speci- 

 mens from Ecuador. An old 'Bogotd' skin is somewhat browner than 

 freshly collected ones.

(2682) Mecocerculus poecilocercus {Scl. & Salv.). 



Serpophaga poecilocerca Scl. & Salv., Nomen. Neotrop., 1873, p. 158 (Puellaro, 

 Ecuador) . 



Found in small numbers in the upper part of the Subtropical Zone of 

 all three ranges. Our eight specimens show some seasonal variation in 

 the color of the wing-coverts which vary from whitish to buff but on the 

 whole agree with two birds from Gualea, Ecuador, which doubtless typi- 

 cally represent the species.

 to Amazonian Colombia..

Common throughout the Tropical Zone. Doubtless occurring at the 

 eastern base of the Andes, though we did not obtain it there.
