Genus — A NGROYAN. 
Angroyan Illiger, Abh. K. Akad Wissenscli 
Berlin, 1812, p. 231, 1816 (ex Temminck 
MS.). Type (by original designation) . . Loxia cyanoptera Latham. 
Pseudartamus Mathews, Austral Av. Rec., Vol. 
I., pt. 5, p. 114, Dec. 24th, 1912. Type 
(by original designation) Loxia cyanoptera Latham. 
When I separated the species of Wood-Swallows generically I wrote 
of this form : “ Differs from Austrartamus in its much shorter, broader bill 
and weaker feet.” 
This, the Wood-Swallow, is much more distinct than the above 
slight structural features suggest, and is distinguished by being the only 
Wood-Swallow that ranges into Tasmania, its distribution being extra- 
tropical Australia. 
Soon after I introduced the name Pseudartamus , and I had recognised 
that Loxia cyanoptera Latham was applicable to this bird, my friend Dr. C. 
W. Richmond wrote me that in the little-known tract above cited, Illiger 
had used the name Angroyan as of Temminck for this species. I thereupon 
made rectification as above.
