Resumo-Records of 30 species are newly reported for Bolivia, based on the authors' field work and hitherto unpublished museum specimens. Three additional difficult-to-identify species are reported without specimen or photographic evidence. Some of the records could have been expected while others indicate notable range expansions. In 1976 and 1977, we saw many species of birds in Bolivia not previously reported from that country. Subsequent investigations concerning Bolivian bird records led to the discovery of a number of additional species new to Bolivia represented by previously unpublished specimens in the Louisiana State University Museum of Zoology (LSUMZ). All were collected by Franz Steinbach of Cochabamba, unless stated otherwise. We report below on our records and the Steinbach specimens. Localities frequently referred to in the species accounts are: (1) Tumi Chucua, along the Rio Beni near Riberalta (Dpto. Beni), described in detail by Pearson (1975a, 1975c); (2) Estancia Inglaterra, a cattle ranch along the Rio Yata (Dpto. Beni), 66025'W, 14o43'S; the habitat is a mixture of marsh, grassland, savanna, and gallery forest; (3) Buena Vista, elev. 400 m, Prov. Ichilo (Dpto. Santa Cruz), a locality worked intensively through the years by J. Steinbach and Franz Steinbach; (4) the vicinity of the city of Cochabamba, 2,570 m (Dpto. Cochabamba).
