18. GENUS NEOSUTHORA Nov. GEN. 
Characters. Bill very much larger and quite differently shaped, as compared with 
the members of the genus Swthora. Upper mandible much deeper, culmen less convex, with 
the mesorhinium much broadened and flattened, and not distinctly curved towards the tip; 
commissure, as in Szthora and Psittiparus, with scarcely an indication of a slight sigmoid 
curve; lower mandible of nearly the same shape as in Suthora, but more swollen, deeper and 
in the apical portion even more abruptly turned upwards. Tip of bill conspicuously blunt 
and obtuse, even more so than in the species of the extreme C//euasicus-type. Wings more 
rounded than in Suthova, the fourth to seventh primaries being the longest, First primary 
vell developed, more than half as long as the longest remex. Tail, composed of rather narrow, 
pointed feathers, much shorter than in Swthora, about three-fourths as long as the wing and, 
instead of being strongly graduated, but slightly rounded; the outermost rectrix falling short 
Db 
of the other tail-feathers, which are nearly equal, by about the length of the hind toe without 
claw. Legs and feet decidedly stronger and more robust than in Suthora. Plumage less copious 
and not so soft. Sexes alike. Type of the genus : Suthora davidiana Slater. 
Coloration, Top and sides of the head bright cinnamon-rufous; back pale slate-grey, 
with or without olive tinge; wings and tail-feathers dusky, exteriorly margined with bright
