Pelzeln has placed in Elainea, and I in Ochthceca. It is, however, I think most nearly allied to the last-named genus, from which it seems distinct in its much smoother rictus with scarcely any setae, shorter wings, and shorter tail. In general coloration it is very similar to Sayornis pallida, but much smaller in size. It is found in Guiana and Amazonia. 1. Ochthomis littoralis. Elainea littoralis, Pelz. O
