Xiphocolaptes promeropirhynchus iguatensis subsp. nov. 
Type from Jua, near Iguatu, Ceara, Brazil. Adult male, No. 49117, 
Field Museum of Natural History. Collected by R. H. Becker, 
September 1, 1913. 
General marking approaching X. p. promeropirhynchus, but colora- 
tion quite different and very much paler on the under parts. The 
wings and tail are decidedly lighter rufous (less chestnut rufous); crown 
and back grayish olive brown, the crown slightly darker and with narrow 
whitish shaft streaks; rump and upper tail coverts bright rufous; under 
parts pale grayish brown, streaked with white; middle of throat dull 
whitish; no black spots or bars on belly, these being replaced by a few 
obscure (almost obsolete) small spots and broken bars of pale grayish 
brown; under wing coverts pale rufous, irregularly barred with black; 
bill blackish at the base, the rest pale horn color. 
Wing, 126; tail, 110; bill, 41 mm. 
Other examples of this very distinct form were taken near Jua by 
Mr. Becker. I have not seen X. p. berlepschi Snethlage, but from the 
description it is quite different. 
Picolaptes fuscus atlanticus subsp. nov. 
Type from Serra Baturité, Ceara, Brazil. Male, No. 49116, Field 
Museum of Natural History. Collected by R. H. Becker, July 13, 1913. 
Similar to P. f. fuscus (Vieill.), but differs in being larger; the rump 
and tail more chestnut rufous; the throat tinged with pale buff, and the 
under parts more tinged with ochraceous. The feathers of the throat 
are very narrowly edged with dusky. 
Wing, 87; tail, 80; bill, 29 mm. 
Campylorhamphus trochilirostris major Ridgway.* 
Several specimens of this well marked subspecies (which agree per- 
fectly in size and coloration with the type specimen in the U.S. National 
Museum) were secured at Jua and Serra Baturité, Cearé, Brazil. The 
exact type locality being previously unknown, being given as “Brazil,” 
I now designate for it the Province of Ceara, Brazil. 
Tenioptera cinerea obscura subsp. nov. 
Type from Sad Marcello, Rio Preto, Bahia, Brazil. Adult male, 
No. 49125, Field Museum of Natural History. Collected by R. H. 
Becker, March 18, 1914.
