SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS #LUPHONLIA, &c., 
Habitat, Cayenne (Desm.) 
This description seems to agree very well with 
(2). Euphonia minuta, Schomb. Reise n. Guiana, iii. 671, which 
M. Cabanis describes as follows— “ Very like EZ. minuta 2, but 
considerably smaller. The yellow-green of the upper surface is 
somewhat lighter, while the yellow on the front is entirely wanting. 
Throat, middle of the belly, and under tail-coverts white-gray. 
Upper mandible with three indentations near the tip.” This may 
be a good- species, but I have some idea that both descriptions 
may be intended for £. strictifrons, Strickl. 9, which would be like 
E. chlorotica, 9, but smaller; but as I have never seen the 9 of this 
species I cannot speak confidently on the subject. 
(3.) EHuphonia affinis, Lesson, Rev. Zool, 1842, p. 175. 
E. capitis dimidio, thorace, abdomine tectricibusque inferioribus 
aureis ; sincipite, collo, gulé, dorgo, alis, cauddque cyaneis violaceo 
tinctis; alis totis nigerrimis; rostro nigro; pedibus rufis. 
Habitat, Realejo, in Nicaragua. 
Mr. Strickland has made some observations on this description, 
which, as he says, is probably intended for a species affine to Z. 
chlorotica, but distinguished by its Nicaraguan habitat and red legs. 
Is it Huphonia hirwndinacea, Bp.?? Tanagre. desmaresti, chloro- 
cyanea, tephrocephala, Vieill. Nov. Dict. d’H. N. vol. xxxii., I can- 
not make any thing of. Mr. Gray refers them to this genus. Are 
btu types still existing in the museum of the Jardin des Plantes at 
aris ??
