This peculiar form has been placed by some authors among the 

 Tityrince, but, as Cabanis and Heine have remarked, undoubtedly 

 belongs here, and i» nearly allied to Culicivora and Serphophaga. 

 In its abnormal plumage it closely resembles the former, but is at 

 once recognizable by its square tail and broader rectrices. Tbe 

 tarsal scutes are well marked. 



Habrura extends frcmi Paraguay to Guiana.
