acrotarsiis divisis, paratarsiis integris, unguibus brevibus. 



These birds are diminutive Grallaria, but distinguished by their 



shorter, feebler bill, the indications of rictal bristles, and short Blender 



tarsi and toes. They appear to form a transition between Grallaria 



and Conopophaga. The woodcut represents (fig. 2) the tarsus of 



Grallaricula flavirostris, which may be contrasted with that of 



Conopophaga lineata (fig. 3) and Grallaria rufula (fig. 1).
