In the genu-s Kmnosia and its allies the bill becomes much 

 ■weaker and the terminal notch almost obsolete. The group thus 

 constituted is a small one, embracing onlj- 17 species referable to 

 -i genera. None of these species occur north of Panama, but south- 

 ■wards they range down to the edge of the Brazilian and Bolivian 

 wood-regions. They are mostly of dull or not ver}' bright colours. 



Key to the Genera. 



A. Bin rather long; wings lengthened; feet 



stronger 85. Cypsxagra, p. 221. 



B. Bin short ; wings shorter ; feet weaker. 



a. Bill stouter 36. Pybhhocoma, 



b. Bill weaker. [p. 222. 



Eictal bristles obsolete 37. Nemosia, p. 222.

Type. 



Cypsnagra, Less. Man. d'Orn. p. 460 (1831) .... C. riilicollis. 



Leucopygia, Sic. Class. B. ii. p. 285 (1837) C. ruficollis. 



In this monotypic Brazilian form the commissure is incurved, 

 b\it there is no trace of any tooth. The bill is rather more pro- 

 duced and the wings longer than in Tachyphonus, to which it 

 otherwise approximates.
