No locality is affixed to Mr. Bartlett's single specimen of this species; but it was probably obtained on the Lower Amazons, as the Ucayali species is C. media, of which Sclater has a specimen obtained on that river by Hawxwell. 41. SALTATOR AZAR.E, D'Orb. Hab. Upper Ucayali. Agrees with Sclater's specimen from the Rio Napo. Fam. FRINGILLIDVE. 42. ORYZOBORUS, sp. ? Hab. Nauta. Female of a species near O. crassirostris. 43. ORYZOBORUS TORRIDUS (Gm.). No locality given. 44. SPERMOPHILA OCELLATA, sp. nov. Supra nigra, fascia uropygiali et speculo alariparva albis: subtus alba, gutture medio (utrinque albo limbato) cum pectore nigris, hujus et laterum plumis albo ocellatis : rostro plumbeo, pedibus fuscis : long, tota 4'5, alar 2*3, caudar 2-8 poll. Angl. $ . Olivaceo-brunnea, alis caudaque fuscis, subtus dilutior, magis flavicans, abdomine medio albescente : rostro et pedibus pallide fuscis. Hab. Nauta. Obs. Aff. S. bouvronidi, Less., sed pectore ocellato distinguenda. Mr. Bartlett has sent home many males and a single female of this apparently new species of Spermophila. It belongs to the black-throated division of the black-and-white section, which contains S. lineola, S. nigricollis, S. cotrulescens, S. semicollaris, and S. but is distinct from all of these, though most nearly allied to the last-named. In some of the males a few of the feathers on the head are spotted with white at the base, forming a small indistinct white medial line. 45. SPERMOPHILA CASTANEIVENTRIS, Cab. Hab. Nauta. Examples of both sexes of this species. 46. VOLATINIA JACARINA (Linn.). Hab. Sarayacu. 47. PAROARIA GULARIS (Linn.). Hab. Nauta. |
