The distinguishing character of this bird is its bill, which is 
flat and broad, unlike the compressed bill of the other three 
species. "The black stria on the side of the head extends from 
the rictus of the bill through the eyes, and covers the ears ; those 
on the throat are formed by detached black feathers, not exceed- 
ing in this specimen seven in number. The webs of the central 
tail-feathers are bare for about an inch near the apez, as is usual 
in this genus. 
This bird was found in Brazil.
