Type. 



Enicornis, G. R. Gray, List Gen. B. 1840, p. 17 H. phoenicura. 



Eremobius, Gould, Zool. Voy. ^Beagle,' iii. p. 69 (1841). H. phoenicura. 



In Henicornis, which in general habit is not far removed from 

 Cinclodes, the bill is more lengthened and quite straight, the gonys 

 slightly ascending. The only two known species are confined to 

 the sea-shores of Chili and Patagonia.

 which Cabanis has united it, and may be immediately recognized by 

 its differently coloured tail and brown back.
