Most nearly related to Automolus, Phacellodomus and allied genera in struc- 

 ture of the feet etc., but very different in form of bill, and other characters. 

 Bill about as long as the middle toe, cuneate in all its profiles, somewhat 

 swollen basally, the culmen and lateral outlines decidedly concave in the middle 

 portion; mandibular tomia very strongly inflexed, with a prominent angle near 

 the base, anterior to which the edge is decidedly concave ; maxillary tomia with 

 a decided notch near the base , immediately above the mandibular angle ; gonys 

 very long (about equal to the exposed portion of the culmen) ; nostrils exposed. 

 Tarsus a little longer than the middle toe and claw ; lateral toes equal, the points 

 of their claws falling short of the base of the middle claw ; inner toe entirely se- 

 parated at the base from the middle toe, and outer with only its first phalanx 

 united. Wings decidedly longer than the tail, the 3d, 4th, and 5th quills nearly 

 equal and longest, the 2d very little shorter, the 1st about equal to the 7th. Tail 

 about equal to the wing measured to the ends of the secondaries, nearly even or 

 very slightly rounded. Typus: A. Bairdi n. sp.; id., ibid. p. 336.
