This liftle group leads awaj from Formicivora to Psilorhamphus 

 and Jlhnmphocfenus. The bill is hardly longer than in Fonniciuora, 

 hut smaller ; the nostrils are more elongated, and have a slight 

 membranous operculum as in Psilorhamplms. The tail is rather 

 long, thin, and delicate ; the tarsi are more like those of Formi- 

 civora, and show the divisions of the scutes.
