Cardellina, Dubus. (See page 236.) 



Cardellina, "Dubus," Bon. Consp. 1850, 312. (Type Cardellina amicia, 

 Dubus, = Muscicapa rubrifrons, Giraud.) 



Bill Parine in appearance, much shorter than head, high at base, and the 

 ciilmen considerably decurved throughout ; the commissure curved and some- 

 what angulated in the middle. Eictal bristles stiff, but not very long, hardly 

 reaching half way from the nostrils to tip of bill, which exhibits scarcely any 

 trace of notch. Wings long and pointed ; the 2d, 3d, and 4th quills nearly 

 equal and longest ; the 1st a little longer than the 5th. The tail is shorter 

 than the wings, nearly even, a very little rounded. Feet small ; tarsi short, 

 the scutellar divisions indistinct externally ; the middle toe without claw 

 little more than half the tarsus. 



This form agrees very closely in the characters of wing and tail 

 with Myiodioctes mitratus. The legs, however, are shorter, and the 

 bill very differently shaped, more like that of a Titmouse.
