ORNITHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. 
V.—ON A NEW SPECIES OF MANAKIN 
By PHILIP LUTLEY SCLATER. 
PIPRA FLAVICOLLIs. 
Mr. WaLLAcE has lately sent home, from the Upper Amazon, 
several specimens of a Manakin, closely allied to Pipra aureola 
Linn., of Cayenne, but sufficiently different I think from that bird, 
to allow of their specific separation. Instead of the mere traces of 
yellowish colouring, found on the front and upper throat of the 
Cayenne species, the present bird has a broad frontal band, and 
the whole of the throat and neck of a pale lemon yellow, which 
extends back under the eyes some way round the sides of the neck. 
There is also a white spot on the middle of each of the external 
rectrices, which is not to be found in the Cayenne bird. In other 
respects, they resemble one another very closely. I propose to call 
this species 
PIPRA FLAVICOLLIS, Scrater. 
P. atra: capite toto, cervice, pectore medioque ventre coccineis ; 
fronte guttureque flavis: tectricibus subalaribus flaves centibus : 
remigibus ints et macula mediali rectricis utrinque extime albis. 
Long. tota, 4; ale, 2.5. 
Hab., Barra do Rio Negro. 
Pipra fasciata of M. M. D’Orbigny and De la Fresnaye, has much 
resemblance to the two species above mentioned, but may at once be 
recognized by the yellow band all across the tail. See D’Orbigny’s 
plate, Voy. dans l’ Am. Mérid. t. xxx. fig. 1. Specimen of all three 
Species are in the British Museum. 
Oxford, October 29, 1851.
