(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).
