and other Species of Calliste. 4.09

Obs. A Calliste cyanoti (Pl. XII. fig. 2) superciliis latis et 
elongatis, regione auriculari interscapulioque omnino nigris 
et frontis vitta ceruled nulla diversa. 
While the only known example of the present species is 
from the Rio-Napo district of Western Ecuador, Calliste 
cyanotis is, as we are now assured by the receipt of Mr. 
Buckley’s specimen, a Bolivian species. Mr. Buckley ob- 
_ tained it near Tilotilo, in the province of Yungas, along with 
the other members of the genus which, as above mentioned, 
Mr. Salvin and I have described as new from his collection. 
Both C. melanotis and C. cyanotis are, in fact, southern re- 
presentatives of Calliste labradorides of Columbia, with which, 
however, they are by no means nearly identical. In the last- 
named species the bright green of the lower back is con- 
tinued up over the interscapulium, and the whole of the side 
of the head is of the same shining green, connected with the 
back by a posterior cervical band. 
Having pointed out the characters which separate C. me- 
lanotis from its allies, I will now say a few words on some of 
the rarer species on which I have recently obtained more 
complete information. 
Of Calliste lavinia, originally described by Mr. Cassin from 
a specimen obtained during the American Survey of the 
Isthmus of Darien, several examples have lately been received 
in this country. Messrs. Salvin and Godman’s collection 
contains skins from Veragua (Arcé), Costa Rica (Van Patten), 
and Chontales, in Nicaragua*. Amongst them is a female, 
which is of a nearly uniform green, without any red on the 
head or wings, but with a cyanescent tinge on the belly. 
This was obtained by Arcé in Veragua. Mr. Thomas Belt 
also procured several skins of this Tanager during his resi- 
dence on the gold-fields of Chontales; and I am indebted to 
him for the fine male specimen which is in my collection. 
Calliste florida, described and figured by Mr. Salvin and 
myself in the P. Z. S. for 1869 (p. 417, pl. XXVIll.), was
