Count T. Salvadori on some 
of my volume, I find that there are four species to be added 
to those mentioned in the f Catalogue/ one of which requires 
a new name. 
1. Pyrrhura chiripepe (Vieill.). 
Of this species I have examined, besides a specimen ob¬ 
tained by Dr. Borelli at Villa Rica, in Paraguay, three others, 
a male and two females, from Tebicuari, not far from Villa 
Rica, also obtained, but quite recently, by Dr. Borelli, and 
two specimens, male and female, from Ypanema, in Turati’s 
Museum, collected by Natterer. 
On the receipt of the first specimen, I fully recognized 
that Graf von Berlepsch’s surmise (Journ. f. Orn. 1887, 
p. 25), as to the Paraguayan bird being probably distinct 
from the Brazilian P. vittata, was quite justified, and I took 
the opportunity to publish a note on Pyrrhura chiripepe 
(Vieill.)*. In this note I gave the history of the species, its 
synonymy, a Latin description, and its probable distribution, 
which from Central Paraguay (Asuncion and Villa Rica) 
appears to extend, not only to Rio Grande do Sul, according 
to Graf von Berlepsctds information (Zeitschr. ges. Orn. 
1885, p. 163), but also north to Ypanema, in the Province of 
Sao Paulo, as the two specimens in the Turati Museum, 
collected by Natterer in that locality, certainly agree with 
the Paraguayan ones. As to the birds obtained by Natterer 
at Matto dentro, Curytiba, and Itarare, also in the Province of 
Sao Paulo,it is most likely that they will be found to agree 
with those from Ypanema, and to belong to P. chiripepe . 
The nearly allied P. vittata is confined to a more north¬ 
eastern part of Brazil, especially in the Province of Minas 
Geraes. 
The synonymy and distribution of Pyrrhura vittata and 
of P. chiripepe requiring revision, I add them, according to 
the most recent information.
