Show 184 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON BIRDS [Mar. 27, obtained by Mr. Bartlett. It is not very like any species that are acquainted with. 65. SYNALLAXIS VULPECULA, sp. nov. Supra larte cinnamomeo-rufa, unicolor, loris et superciliis indi-stincte albidis : subtus alba, ventrem versus sensim fuscescente : lateribus sordidis : ventre medio punctis minutis obsolete sor-didis irrorato : cauda unicolori rufa, rectricibus duodecim, pari externo medio dimidio breviore, ceteris graduatis : long, tota 5*6, alar 2*6, caudar 2'3, tarsi 0 8 5 , rostri a rictu lin. dir. 0'75. Hab. in ripis fl. Ucayali sup. et inf. Obs. Affinis S. vulpinar, sed rostro longiore, corpore supra omnino unicolore, et ventris punctis obsoletis distinguenda. Three examples of this species, belonging to the division of Synallaxis with twelve rectrices, are in M r . Bartlett's collection. It appears to come nearest to S. vulpina of V o n Pelzeln, of which a single example is in Sclater's collection. 66. LEPTOXYURA CINNAMOMEA (Gm.). Hab. Upper Ucayali. 67. PHILYDOR TURDINUS. " Anabates turdinus, Natt. MS.;" Von Pelz. Sitz. Ak. Wien, xxxiv. p. 110. Hab. Upper Ucayali. A single specimen, agreeing nearly enough with a typical example of Von Pelzeln's species in Sclater's collection. Natterer's examples were collected at Barra and Borba. 68. XENOPS APPROXIMANS, Von Pelzeln, Sitz. Ak. Wien, xxxiv. p. 113. Hab. Nauta and Upper Ucayali. Two examples. 69. SITTASOMUS AMAZONUS, Lafr. Hab. Upper Ucayali. 70. DENDROCOLAPTES VALIDUS. Dendrocolaptes validus, Tsch. F. P. p. 242, pi. 21. f. 2. Dendrocops validus, Lafr. R. Z. 1851, p. 324. Hab. Upper Ucayali. A single example of this species, which we have not seen before. It appears to answer well to Tschudi's description, though the wretched figure of the ' Fauna Peruana' is barely recognizable. 71. DENDRORNIS PALLIATA, DesMurs. Hab. Lower Ucayali. 72. DENDRORNIS ROSTRIPALLENS, DesMurs. Hab. Sarayacu. |
