Pachyrhamphus alhinucha is described as a new species from Buenos Ayres, 
of the figure and size of P. cinereus (Bodd.), but rather smaller, the bill 
somewhat slender, and the wings relatively shorter. Id. tom. cit. p. 635. 
Ilctcropclma stenorhynchum is described as a new species from Venezuela, 
belonging to the group allied to JI. turdinumy and nearly as largo as that 
species. Beneath it is pale on the throat lihe II. wcdlacii (cf, Zuol. Hoc. iv* 
p. 94), but has indications of transverse markings on the belly. Above it is 
most like II. amazonum, but the bill is narrower and more compressed 
than in the other allied species. P. L. Sclater & O. Salvin, P. Z. S. 1868, 
p. 632.
