Dr. Cabanis is of opinion that the bird from Mendoza described by Dr. Burmeister as the young of C. boiæi is referable to this new species.
[250.] DRYOCOPUS ERYTHROPS (Val.).
(RED-FACED WOODPECKER.)
Dryocopus erythrops, Scl. et Salv. Nomencl. p. 99; White, P. Z. S. 1882, p. 617 (Misiones).
Description.—Above black; crested head scarlet; broad line from front beneath the eye and down the neck white; malar patch scarlet: beneath, throat white, with black striations; breast black; belly white, transversely barred with black; under surface of wings white; bill plumbeous; feet black: whole length 13·0 inches, wing 7·5, tail 5·0. Female similar, but anterior half of head black, and no scarlet malar patch.
Hab. Brazil.
White states that he “observed” a few specimens of this Brazilian species in the dense forests of Misiones; but its occurrence so far south requires confirmation. A more likely species of this genus to occur there would be D. lineatus, which has been found in Paraguay (cf. Berlepsch, J. f. O. 1887, p. 20).
