the narrow flag-feathers are present, but not the elongated feathers of the 

 tail (Chiromachceris CABAN.). CABANIS restricts the genus Pipra to those 

 species of which the first flag-feathers are not narrowed and none of the 

 tail-feathers elongated. To this division belongs Pipra erythrocepkala L. 

 (see above), Pipra aureola L., BUFF. PL enl. 34, fig. 3, &c. 



Piprites CABAN., (and ffemipipo ejusd.). In the outer toes less 

 concrete, the tail somewhat long, and in habit receding from the 

 type of genus Pipra.
