 C-abanis, =.lrrt';»07i ophthalmicus Du Bus.) 



Small, plainly colored Tanagers, with small and not obviousl}' hooked 

 nor toothed bill, the exposed culmen much less than two-thirds as long 

 as tarsus; colors plain olive or olive-green above (the pileum and hind- 

 neck sometimes gray, ))rown, or sooty), light-colored below, sometimes 

 with yellow on throat or chest; sometimes with white markings on sides 

 of head. 



Bill much shorter than head, subconical, deeper than broad at base, 

 where its width is decidedly less than length of gonys; exposed culmen 

 about half as k)ng as tarsus or a little more, slightly convex; gon^s a 

 little shorter than maxilla from nostril, less decided!}' convex than cul- 

 men; maxiUar}' tomium straight or faintly concave, slightly defected 

 basally; mandibvdar tomium straight, slightly deflected basally. Nos- 

 tril exposed, small, longitudinally oval, with rather broad superior 

 membrane. Kictal bristles minute, hardly obvious. Wing rather 

 long (a little more than three to about three and one-third tin'ies as 

 long as the rather long tarsus), rounded (eighth to fifth primaries 

 longest, ninth shorter than fourth); primaries exceeding secondaries 

 by less than length of middle toe with claw. Tail shorter than wing 

 by less than half the length of the tarsus ( C. olivaceus and C. pileatus) 

 to nearly the length of the tarsus (6^. hypophmws). Tarsus much longer 

 than middle toe with claw; outer claw reaching al)out to base of middle 

 claw, the inner slightly shorter; hind claw shorter than its digit — all 

 the claws well curved, sharp.
