Brunnescenti-olivacea; pileo, alis extus, et cauda tota castaneis subtus, pracipue in gula, paulo dilutior : remigum primariorum quinque externorum apicibus nigricantibus : rostro corneo, corylinis: long, tota 8, alee 4*2, caudce 3*2, rostri rictu 1'35 jwll. Angl. flab. Isthmus Panamensis. Sim. D. homochroce, sed statura majore, rostro multo fortiore, et dorso olivaceo tincto distinguenda. Sclater's collection contains a single skin of this Dendrocincla, which was obtained near the city of Panama by the late Mr. William Thomas Hodgetts Chambers-Hodgetts (formerly Chambers) during a temporary visit to the isthmus. It is, perhaps, the species indicated by Mr. Lawrence as Dendromanes homochrous (Ann. L. N. Y. viii. p. 466), but is certainly distinct. W e are now inclined to consider Sclater's genus Dendromanes to be only subgenerically distinct from Dendrocincla, of which group the following species are known to us. a. Dendromanes. 1. D. anabatina, Sclater, ex Mexico et Guatemala. 2. D. homochroa, Sclater, ex Mexico et Guatemala. 3. D. ruficeps, nobis, ex Panama. 4. D. merula (Licht.), ex Guiana et Amazonia. 5. D. meruloides (Lafr.), ex Venezuela. b. Dendrocincla. 6. D.fumigata (Licht.), ex Brasil. 7. D. atrirostris (Lafr.), ex Boliv., Nov. Granada, rep. ^Equator. et Panama. 8. D. longicauda, Pelzeln, ex Amazonia. 9. D. tyrannina (Lafr.), ex Nov. Granada. 10. D. turdina (Licht.), ex Brasil. Of all these ten species there are specimens in Sclater's collection. W e are not acquainted with D. minor, lately described by Herr von Pelzeln, 'Orn. Bras.' p. 60. 2. DENDROCOLAPTES PUNCTICOLLIS, sp. nov. (Pl. V.) Dendrocolaptes multistrigatus, Scl. et Salv.
