Show 264 MESSRS. SCLATER A N D SALVIN O N [Mar. 4, melas) was first described as new from specimens from this locality; but we have since met with it from Venezuela and Cayenne, and are doubtful whether older synonyms may not yet be found for it. 1.

The Panama form of this species, to which Lafresnaye applied the name cyanoides, is nearer to the Mexican G. concreta, or at all events intermediate between it and G. cyanea. The Guianan and Amazonian form is not specifically divisible from the S.E. Brazilian. 2. ORYZOBORUS MELAS, Scl. & Salv. Oryzoborus, sp. 1, Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1866, p. 181; 1867, p. 750.
