Small Cotingidse (wino; about 65-80 mm.), closely allied to Platyp- 

 saris, but with tail more strongly rounded (almost graduated in 

 some species), bill relatively shorter, broader, and more depressed, 

 and adult males with abbreviated ninth primary more sharply 

 acuminate at tip, sometimes emarginate at end, with outer point 

 subfalcate; coloration usually more varied, though sometimes plain 

 cinnamon-rufous in both sexes. 



Bill much shorter than head, broadly cuneate in vertical profile, 

 the lateral outlines straight or very faintly convex, its width at nos- 

 trils considerably greater than its depth at same point ; culmen 

 more or less distinctly ridged, nearly straight for most of its length, 

 rather strongly decurved terminally, the tip of maxilla distinctly 

 but not conspicuously uncinate; gonys more or less distinctly con- 

 vex, much longer than mandibular rami, obsoletely or not at all 

 ridged medially; maxillary tomium nearly straight, distinctl}'' 

 notched subterminally. Nostril partly covered b}^ antrorse small 

 bristly feathers of latero-frontal antiie, small, roundish, with narrow 

 superior and posterior membrane. Ilictal bristles well developed. 

 Wing moderate, with longest primaries exceeding secondaries by 

 more than length of exposed culmen; seventh and eighth primaries 

 longest, the sixth and tenth, successively, shorter, the ninth (in 

 adult males only) only about half as long as eighth (or a little more), 

 acuminate at tip, or sometimes emarginate, with outer point longer 

 and subfalcate. Tail n3arly (sometimes quite) as long as wing to 

 end of secondaries, more or less rounded, sometimes very much so,
