(Original designation and monotypy.) 

 A "made up" name. (Mathews, MS.) 



> "The literal small scales of the fore toes are free, giving the pectinated appearance of the feet in tho 

 grouse, to which genus our bird has numberless affinities, external and internal: so much so that Tetra- 

 operdix mi?ht very well designate the new genus I have proposed for it, if that word were not somewhat 

 unmanageable, in comparison of our Lerwa, which I have therefore preferred, native though it be." 



2 The type, T. Ivcolacma, is compared with " Tigrisoma levcolophvw ," which is " sehr iihnlicli." The 

 latter is the type of Tigriornis Sharpe (emended to Tigrornis in Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., vol. 25, p. 191), a genus 

 not referred to by Reichenow, and it is not improbable that Tigribaphe will prove to be a synonym. 



* This genus is based on Buflon, llist. Nat. Ois., vol. 4, p. 502, etc. The species Tetrao major is not men- 

 tloned in Hermann's work.
