This species of Eegidus appears to hick the small feather which, 

 in i^atrapa, overlies and conceals the nostrils, which was probably 

 the reason with Cabanis & Blyth for placing it in a different genus. 

 There is no other very apparent difTerence of form, however, although 

 this furnishes a good character for distinguishing between young 

 specimens of the two species.
