Only one example of this scarce little Brazilian bird is before me, 

 for the acquisition and recognition of which I am much indebted 

 to Graf v. Berlepsch. The bill is much more constricted than in the 

 preceding genera, the tail longer, and the tarsal scutellations strongly 

 developed. Were it not for the somewhat well-shown rictal setie, 

 one might be inclined to refer this form to the Elaineina?.
