Genus RHYACOPHILUS Kaup. 



Rhyacophilus Kaup Naturl. Syst., 1829, 140. (Type, Tringa glareola Linnaeus.) 



Small Tringinge (wing 115-126 mm.) closely resembling Tringa but 

 bill relatively shorter (exposed culmen much shorter than tarsus), 

 nasal groove broader, and metasternum 4-notched. 



Bill straight and slender, its depth at base equal to about one- 

 eighth the length of exposed culmen, the latter about three-fourths 

 as long as tarsus, or a little more; nasal groove broad, extending about 

 halfway to tip of maxilla; wing rather long, the longest primary (outer- 

 most) exceeding distal secondaries by less than half the length of 

 wing; tips of longest tertials reaching nearly to tip of longest primary. 

 Tail between one-third and one-half as long as wing, truncate or nearly 

 so, but middle pair of rectrices slightly but abruptly longer than the 

 rest; rectrices 12. Tarsus about one and a half times as long as middle
