PHEUGOPEDIUS **) nov. gen. Coraya. 450. 1. P. genibarbis Nob.***) Sphenura coraya Licht. (nec Buff. Gm.) Doubl. p. 42. No. 464. — Myiothera coraya Spix. Av. Bras. I. tab. 73. fig. 2. ... **) Von φευγω, flüchten; πεδιον offenes Land. In der Schnabelbildung der Gattung Cyphorhinus am nächsten, aber mit weniger zusammengedrücktem an der Basis breiterem, an der Spitze stärker gebogenem Schnabel mit weniger runden Nasenlöchern; Flügel und Schwanz stärker entwickelt. ***)Wir halten den in Brasilien vorkommenden Vogel von dem Coraya des Buffon P. coraya Nob.
