Characters. The genus Cymbirhynchus differs from all the other Eurylemide@ in the form of 
the nostrils, which are longitudinal, and are situated in about the middle of the upper mandible. 
The bill is higher than in the other genera of Eurylemine (though not as high as in the 
Calyptomenine) and has a sharp ridge along the culmen. The colour of the bill is in life a most 
beautiful greenish sky-blue with yellow base and edges, the iris is of a most lovely golden moss- 
green. These marvellous colours, however, disappear entirely in the dried skins. At the base 
of the bill are two very conspicuous long and strong, and a few smaller bristles. The tail is very 
strongly graduated, the lateral rectrices being about half as long as the central pair, and the 
tail is nearly as long as the wing. The metatarsus in front is divided into only four scutes, the 
upper one of which reaches over half the length of the metatarsus, the back of which is a soft 
skin in life, shrivelled up in the skin. 
The scapulars are most peculiarly shaped : the upper ones are greatly elongated, narrow, 
pointed, and of a white colour, thus forming a very conspicuous white line on each side of the 
black back. The rest of the plumage is red and black. The plumage covering the upperside, breast 
and abdomen is soft, that of the throat more compact and very hard, the earcoverts quite stiff 
and hard. Nests pendant bags, eggs spotted. The young bird has spotted wing-coverts.
