TURBO ANTSHRIKE.
Adult male. — Head and neck, above and laterally, black, each feather with a conspicuous mesial guttate streak of buffy white; under parts, including chin and throat, dull slate-gray, similarly but more broadly streaked, as far back as the lower abdomen, where the streaks become obsolete and the ground color paler and more buffy gray; under tail-coverts cinnamon with narrow shaft-streaks of paler; thighs deeper cinnamon, or russet; under wing-coverts and broad edgings to inner webs of primaries deep cinnamon-buff; back and scapulars tawny-chestnut, changing on rump to a paler and duller, more fulvous, hue; wings and tail clear chestnut; length (skin), about 1.45; wing, 75; tail, 57; exposed culmen (tip of bill broken off); tarsus, 25; middle toe, 15.

This very distinct species is very unlike any other known to me. It is about the size of T. palliatus (Lichtenstein), and has the back, wings, and tail similar in color, but has the pileum, hindneck, and under parts conspicuously streaked with white instead of having the pileum plain black and under parts barred with white, the ground color of the under parts moreover being gray instead of black. There
is a closer resemblance in coloration to Berlepschia rikeri (belonging
- ↑ According to Sclater, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., xv, 1890, 211. I have seen only Colombian examples, however, and the species is omitted from the Biologia Centrali-Americana.
- ↑ The type of Thamnophilus tenuifasciatus has been carefully examined and compared with specimens of T. multistriatus, with the result that it proves to be very distinct from the latter. If not a synonym of T. tenuipunctatus Lafresnaye (which I have not seen) it must stand as a distinct form.
