+Anumbius striaticollis+, _d'Orb. Voy., Ois._ p. 255 (Buenos Ayres).
+Phacellodomus striaticollis+, _Scl. et Salv. Nomencl._ p. 65.
_Description._--Above, forehead and crown rufous; lores white; sides
of head, neck, and back brown; whole wing chestnut, the feathers
tipped with blackish; tail chestnut; beneath white, clearer on the
throat and breast, which are marked with slight white shaft-spots;
sides of breast and flanks washed with reddish brown; under
tail-coverts brown; under wing-coverts cinnamon; bill and feet
horn-colour: whole length 8·0 inches, wing 2·9, tail 3·1. _Female_
similar.
_Hab._ Argentina and Uruguay.
D'Orbigny, who discovered this species in Uruguay, and found it also
near Buenos Ayres, remarks that it lives in pairs in the thorny bushes,
and resembles its congeners in habits. It is, however, certainly not
common in the vicinity of the Argentine capital, for Hudson has never
met with it.
