Pheymutorhina n. g. Formicariidarum: Similar to Phloyopsis, but differing 

 very materially in the form of the uostril, which consists of a narrow longitudinal 

 slit-like opening, overhung by a broad, rather thickened, membrane or opercnlum. 

 Orbital region entirely naked, the bare space broadly oval, slightly pointed an- 

 teriorly (about midway of the lores), but rounded posteriorly. Feathers of 

 pileum lengthened, narrow, decurved, rather stiff, and distinctly individualized, 

 forming a loose crest when erected; those of the forehead and lores (anterior 

 half) shorter, straighter and more dense. Tail more than two-thirds as long as 

 wiug, slightly rounded, the feathers broad and rounded. Wiug about three times 

 as long as tarsus, much rounded (fifth and sixth quills longest). Tarsus more 

 than twice as long as bill from nostril, booted. Colors piain. Typus: B. gymnops 

 n. sp. vom unteren Amazonenstrom; R, Ridgway, Proc. U. St. Nat. Mus. 10, p. 525.
