CARDELLINA, Duvupvs. 
CARDELLINA, Dubus. (See page 236.) 
Cardellina, “ Dusus,” Bon. Consp. 1850, 312. (Type Cardellina amicta, 
Dusus = Muscicapa rubrifrons, GiRAvD.) 
Bill Parine in appearance, much shorter than head, high at base, and the 
culmen considerably decurved throughout ; the commissure curved and some- 
what angulated in the middle. Rictal bristles stiff, but not very long, hardly 
reaching half way from the nostrils to tip of bill, which exhibits scarcely any 
trace of notch. Wings long and pointed; the 2d, 3d, and 4th quills nearly 
equal and longest; the Ist a little longer than the 5th. The tail is shorter 
than the wings, nearly even, a very little rounded. Feet small; tarsi short, 
the scutellar divisions indistinct externally; the middle toe without claw 
little more than half the tarsus. 
This form agrees very closely in the characters of wing and tail 
with Myiodioctes mitratus. The legs, however, are shorter, and the 
bill very differently shaped, more like that of a Titmouse.
