CONIROSTRUM FERRUGINEIVENTRE, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1855, p. 74, Aves, pi. lxxxv. This species was originally described by Sclater in 1855 from specimens transmitted to the Derby Museum from Bolivia. W e have not since met with it, except the single example in Jelski's Peruvian collections (see above p. 511). 5. PCECILOTHRAUPIS IGNIVENTRIS (Lafr. et D'Orb.) ; Sclat. P. Z. S. 1856, p. 242 ; Syn. Av. Tan. p. 68. Mr. Whitely's skins are, in our opinion, certainly referable to this species, of which the specific characters are pointed out by Sclater, I. s. c. W e suspect P. ignicrissa (Cab. J. f. O. 1873, p. 317) is not different; but nothing is said respecting the blue edgings of the wings. In P. lunulata from Columbia and P. atricrissa, Cab. J. f. O. 1866, p. 165, from Ecuador, there is no appearance of blue wing-edgings. 16. MUSCISAXICOLA RUFIPENNIS, Tacz. P. Z. S. 1874, p. 134. W e have compared Mr. Whitely's skins of this well-marked species with M. Taczanowski's type. 20. CINCLODES BIFASCIATUS, Scl. P. Z. S. 1858, p. 448, et 1873 p. 782. Having now a skin of the true 0. palliatus (Tsch.) from M. Jelski's collection before us, we find that it is by no means identical with the present bird, as supposed possible (P.Z. S. 1873, p. 783). C. palliatus is larger, of a pure white below, has the lores black, and is darker on the wings and tail. But Tschudi's figure, giving it a white end to the tail, is incorrect, only tbe two outer rectrices being slightly tipped with white. |
