Mr. R. B. Sharpe’s Catalogue-of Accipitres. 487 
p. 458, as having been recently described by the late Pro- 
fessor Sundevall, under the title of Plangus neoyeus, in Of. 
k. Vet. Akad. Forh. 1874, No. 2, p. 28. I have no knowledge 
of this species beyond what is contained in Professor Sunde- 
vall’s notice of it in the above-named periodical, from which 
I transcribe the following particulars :— 
“ Plangus, n. gen. plumis occipitis paucis oblongis, lon- 
gioribus, cristam formantibus ornatus. Cauda longior (ala 
cubitali antica paullo brevior).—Sp. unica cognita, ex Brasilia, 
magna, Aquilz zequalis, preecedentibus* affinis; a Morphno 
presertim naribus oblongis, longitudinalibus distincta. Ala 
magna, lata et longa: quiescens, apice caudz paullo brevior, 
pennis cubiti anticis 3 ale fere attingentibus. Tarsus } ale 
cub:s equalis; digiti longiusculi, fortes * * * * 
““ Plangus neogeus, nob., fuscus, gastreo toto albo, maculis 
rachidum angustis, fuscis vario, remigibus rectricibusque extus 
fusco-cinereis, maculis minutis, fuscis, crebre variis. Fascia 
caude nulla. Ala580 mm. Specimen unicum in Brasilia, 
prope Caldas occisum, anno 1855 attulit et Muszeo Stockhol- 
miensi donavit cl. G. A. Lindberg.” 
The genus Urubitinga, to which I next propose to refer, 
should, I think, be restricted, as I have already mentioned, 
to two species, U. zonura and U. anthracina, unless U. gund- 
lachi be admitted as a third, and considered specifically dis- 
tinct from U. anthracina. 
I have not much to add to Mr. Sharpe’s account of these 
species ; but it may be desirable to note that both in U. zonura 
and in U. anthracina the iris is brown. 
I may also mention that a specimen of U. anthracina from 
the Island of St. Vincent is now living in the Gardens of the 
Zoological Society ; this example was in immature dress when 
it arrived at the Gardens, but is now in full plumage, with 
the exception of a slight tinge of rufous brown on the back 
and sides of the head, and also on the tertials. I am indebted 
to the kindness of Mr. Bartlett for the following note respect- 
ing the moulting of this specimen, which I here insert, as it 
* The species here referred to are Urubitinga zonura and Busarellus 
migricollis,
