SYNOPSIS 
OF 
THE GENUS ZLUPHONIA, 
WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES 
By PHILIP LUTLEY SCLATER, May, 1851. 
Tue Prince Canino separates this genus, which is a very natural 
one, taken as a whole, into several others. None of the divisions 
appear to me to deserve that high rank, being founded chiefly on 
the style of plumage. I have used his names for the sections in 
the following paper where they can be adopted, but prefer keeping 
Euphonia as a generic name for all the species.
