CORYTHOPIS. 



Genus COETTHOPIS Sund. 



Corythopis Sundeyall, K. Vet.-Ak. Handl. 1835, p. 93. Type C. calca- 

 rata (Wied). 



Fig. 2. — -CorytJiopis t. anthoides. 



This genus is distinguished by the longer, thinner, and narrower 

 bill and the longer tail, which is about double the length of the 

 tarsus. It differs entirely, too, in coloration, having the appear- 

 ance of Dendranthus indicus, which is an aberrant Wagtail. It 

 may not be referable, therefore, to the Conopophagidw.
