Cephalopterus, Geoffr. Ann. d. Mus. xiii. p. 235 (1809) . . C. ornatus. 



The extraordinary pendulous throat-wattle and the remarkable 

 form of the crest distinguish this very singular genus, which is 

 peculiar to certain districts of Amazonia, Ecuador, and Central 

 America. For an account of the habits of this bird see Mr. W allacc's 

 article (P. Z. S.1850, p. 206).
