 with it in color.

(3008a) Onychorhynchus coronatus castelnaudi Dev. 



Onychorhynchus castelnaudi Dev., Rev. et Mag. Zool., 1849, 56 (Sarayaou, Rio 

 Ucayali, e. Peru). 



An adult male collected by Ring at Villa^dcencio differs from a British 

 Guiana specimen in being smaller (wing, 73 mm.), the back is browner, 

 the belly deeper ochraceous, the tail more rufescent basally, and the upper 

 tail-coverts are practically unbarred. An immature specimen from " Napo " 

 agrees with the Villavicencio bird in size, and in lacking the conspicuous 

 bars on the tail-coverts which characterize coronatus. I have no Peruvian 

 specimens but the type-locality of castelnaudi lies in the same faunal zone 

 as Napo, and it is therefore more than probable that the Villavicencio bird 

 agrees with the Peruvian form.
