another closely allied, C. scapularis, is restricted to Mexico and Central America. The 
genus is thus purely Neotropical, and its range northwards follows the woods on each 
side of the Mexican highlands to the States of Nuevo Leon and ‘Tamaulipas on the 
east, and to Sonora on the west. 
With a general resemblance to the species of Campophilus, which are barred on the 
under surface, Ceophiwus is not quite so stoutly built, and has a more feeble bill; the 
proportion of the toes, too, is different, and forms a good distinguishing character, for 
in Campophilus the outer toe (reversed) is longer than the middle toe, whereas in 
Ceophleus the reverse is the case, and the middle toe is the longer of the two.
