The Tanagers of the genus ScJiisfocManit/s, as here limited, make 

 a decided approach to the true Tanagne, and I have much doubt about 

 this being their correct position. The bill is moderately thick, and 

 has a decided, though small, terminal notch ; the wings are rather 

 short ; the tail very slightly rounded ; the claws short. The sexes 

 when adult seem to be similarly coloured.
