Show 1899.] ORNIS OF SAO PAULO. 513 subcristata, Culicivora stenura, Cyanotisazarce, Anumbiusacuticaudus, Fumarius rufus, Phlotocryptes melanops, Thamnophilus maculatus, T. ruficapillus, Ardea sibilatrix, Ardetta involucris, Plegadis guarauna, Dafila spinicauda, and Fulica armillata. There are also some marine or coast-birds which occur as temporary residents on the Sao Paulo coast, such as Cygnus melanocoryphus and Spheniscus magellanicus. Of species occurring between Bio Grande do Sul and Sao Paulo, I may mention : Calliste pretiosa, Cyanocorax cceruleus, Cybemetes yetaba, Thripophaga sclateri, Heliobletus contaminatus Pelz. ( = superciliosus Licht.), Picolaptes falcinellus, Trogon surucura, Chrysotis brasiliensis, and Chrysotis pretrii. Some of the species that occur in Sao Paulo and Bio are known from Sta. Catharina, but I have no data to prove that they also occur in Bio Grande do Sul. Such are Dacnis cay ana and D. nigripes, Tanagra omata and T. palmarum, Cissopis major, Cassicus hcemorrhous, Cassidix oryzivora, Oxyrhamphus fiammiceps, Llicura militaris, Tijuca nigra, Malacoptila torquata, and Andigena bailloni. Many of the Sta. Catharina species not as yet obtained in Bio Grande do Sul may probably be found there still; but it seems quite possible that others (Tanagra palmarum, Ceryle inda, Dacnis, etc.) do not pass southwards of Sta. Catharina. I have never seen any Dacnis in the State of Bio Grande do Sul. The locality in the British Museum Catalogue, " Pelotas, Bio Grande do Sul (Joyner)^ is wrong. I now give a list of the species that occur between Bio Grande do Sul and Bio de Janeiro ; and which, I believe, do not extend their distribution north of Bio. These are :- Euphonia pectoralis. Hypophcea chalybcea. Chlorophonia viridis. Tachyphonus coronatus. Arremon semitorquatus. Aphobus chopi. Cnipolegus nigerrimus. Orchilus auricularis. Alectrurus tricolor. Mionectes rufiventris. Phyllomyias brevirostris. Phyllomyias burmeisteri. Sirystes sibilator. Ph iba lura fiavirostris. Ampelion cucullatus. Anabazenops rufo-superciliatus. Sittosomus erithacus. Dendrocolaptes picumnus. Batara einerea. Thamnophilus leachi. Thamnophilus severus. Leucochloris albicollis. Phaethornis eurynome. Clgtolcema rubinea. Rhamphastos dicolorus. Pyrrhura vittata. Triclaria cyanogastra. Leucopternis palliata. Leucopternis lacernulata. Penelope obscura. Crypturus obsoletus. It thus seems that the fauna of Southern Brazil, from Bio de Janeiro to Bio Grande do Sul, has a great number of characteristic species and even genera. The latter are:-(a) Culicivora, |
