Show 1870.] MR. P. L. SCLATER ON NEW TYRANNIDAE. 833 rostro corneo, mandibula ad basin pallide carnea, pedibus fuscis : long, tota 5*2, alee 2*5, caudee 2*4, tarsi 0*6. Hab. ins. Jamaica. I find I have accidentally omitted hitherto to give a description of this species of Elainea, of which I obtained two skins some years ago along with a large series of other Jamaican birds. Elainea fallax. Mr. March (Pr. Ac. Phil. 1863, p. 290) suggests that this bird may be the young of E. cotta. But this cannot be the case, I think, as I have young and old of the latter. E. fallax belongs to the section with a concealed white crest, and has the wing-coverts terminated with white. E. cotta (S) has a bright yellow crest (see Gosse's figure, 111. B. Jam. pl. xiv.), which is deficient in the female or young, and has plain unspotted wings. I have no doubt of the distinctness of the two species. 3. ELAINEA PUDICA, sp. nov. (Fig- 3, p. 834.) Supra obscure olivacea unicolor; alis caudaque nigricantibus, alarum tectricibus albido terminatis, fasrias duas alares ex-hibentibus ; secundariis quoque extus albido late marginatis : cauda olivaceo extus anguste fimbriata : subtus pallide flavida, ventre medio dilutiore, gutture et pectore toto griseo perfusis : subalaribus et remigum marginibus internis pallide flavidis : rostro brevi, angustato, nigricante; mandibula, preecipue ad basin, cameo: pedibus obscure cornels: long, tota 5*5, alee 2*8, caudee 2*5, tarsi 0*6. Hab. Respubl. Colombica, Bogota (Mus P. L. S.) ; Chiriqui (Arce) ; Venezuela, prope Merida (Goering). I have long had two Bogota specimens of this Elainea in my collection under the M S . name now published, and have lately obtained a third skin of it from Mr. Goering. From Arce Salvin has recently also received a single example, apparently of the same species, and I was consequently in some hopes of being able to recognize in it one of the Central-American Elaineee lately described |
