Genus IV. Pygiptila. 



Rostrum validum, crassum, uncinatum, ad basin latius et apicem 

 versus angustatum : tarsis brevissimis, digitum medium vix ex- 

 cedentibus, undique scutellatis ; unguibus brevibus. 



I have united under this title two birds, one of which I have pre- 

 viously arranged as a Thamnophilus, the other as a Myrmeciza. 

 The strongly-hooked bill (of the first species especially) most re- 

 sembles that of the Thamnophilines, with which also they agree in 

 the nearly completely scutellated tarsi ; whereas the lax, full fea- 

 thering of the uropygium and shorter tail show some rapproche- 

 ment towards Hypocnemis.
