21. IODOPLEURA. 



Type. 

 Iodopleura, Less. Rev. Zool. 1839, p. 45 I. pipra. 



Iodopleura and its near ally Calyptura have been usually asso- 

 ciated with the Pipridce, but appear to have a pycnaspidean tarsus, 

 and should, therefore, in consonance with Sundevall's views, be 

 deemed to be diminutive forms of the Cotingidce. 



The Iodopleura are only found in South America, extending from 

 Colombia through Amazonia to Cayenne and S.E. Brazil. The 

 ornamental tuft of violet feathers on each side of the breast is the 

 characteristic feature of this genus.
