White-browed Anabates. 



PLATE XCm. 



A. supra brumiescente-rufus, plumis capitis dorsique medio albido-ochraceis, su- 

 perciliis subtusque albidis, gula, pectore abdomineque plumis marginibus brun- 

 neis ; cauda rufa. 



Xhe present species we received from the Brazils a considerable time 

 since in a collection formed by Dr Such. We have been unable to recon- 

 cile it with any of the described species to which we have access, viz. those 

 of Prince W. Neuwied, and those figured by M. Temminck in his Planches 

 Coloriees. The general colours are those of the genus , but the markings 

 approach it to Dendrocoloptes. The length is about nine inches and a half, 

 of which the tail makes nearly three inches and a half. The upper parts 

 are umber-brown, having the shafts of the feathers and a space on each 

 side of a much paler shade : on the forehead and crown, the feathers are 

 stiff, and with a much stronger shaft : a white streak extends over each 

 eye till nearly the occiput ; the throat is pale ochraceous yellow ; the 

 cheeks, neck, breast and belly umber-brown, of a paler shade towards the 

 vent, and having the centre of each feather ochraceous-yellow, so that it 

 seems merely bordered with the brown ; the under wing-coverts and the 

 base of inner webs of the quills and secondaries are pale reddish- yellow ; 

 the remaining parts of the quills are dark umber-brown ; the tail contains 

 twelve feathers, the fifth from the outside are the longest, the fourth and 

 centre ones equal, the outermost shortest ; the whole of a rich ochraceous 

 red, with black shafts. 



The provincial name referred to in the accompanying list, and the only 

 notice we had, is Disconhecido, and which was also applied to several of 

 the Laniadce, Procnias hirundinacea, &c.
