Serpophaga subcristata (Vieillot)
This little flycatcher was added to the known victims of the shiny cowbird when Eugene Gerzenstein found a parasitized nest on 6 November 1960, southwest of Paso Real, on the Solis Chico River, Departamento de Canelones, Uruguay.
CROWNED SLATY-FLYCATCHER
Empidonomus aurantioatrocristatus (d'Orbigny and Lafresnaye)
To the 2 records of this flycatcher as a victim of the shiny cowbird known to us earlier (Friedmann, 1929:105) may be added 3 more: 2 from Manchalá, Tucumán, northwestern Argentina, 20 October 1925 and 10 October 1930, taken by Pablo Girard, and both now in the collections of the Museo de La Plata; and 1 found in Entre Rios, 23 December 1970, by S. Narosky.
