Large Picidse (wing about 165-209 mm.) resembling Campephilus 

 but differing in relatively much shorter and less depressed bill, with 

 shorter gonys (less than three instead of nearly four times as long 

 as mandibular rami), much longer and broader and non-falcate, tenth 

 primary (decidedly more than half to nearly two-thirds as long as 

 ninth and one-seventh, or more, as broad as long), much less develop- 

 ment of feathers on chin, much more extensively (and completely) 

 naked orbital region, and barred (instead of uniform black) under 

 parts.
