4. CERATOPIPRA. 



Type. 



Ceratopipra, Bp. Consp. Vol. Anisod. p. 6 (1854) C. cornuta. 



The longer tail, stronger tarsi, and peculiar extended crest seem to 

 separate this genus from the typical Piprce, and I have therefore 

 placed it apart, under the generic term suggested for it by Bonaparte. 



The two known species are restricted to Guiana and Amazonia. 



Key to the Species.
