Fig. 192. — Lanio fulvus. 



The members of this genus are distinguished chiefly by the 

 well-developed rictal bristles. The bill is compressed on the 

 apical portion, sharply hooked at the tip of the upper mandible, 

 and a well-developed tooth on its cutting-edges." The wing is 

 rounded, the second, third, fourth, and fifth primaries longest and 

 subequal, and the first intermediate in length between the sixth 

 and seventh. The tail is slightly rounded at the tip and nearly as 

 long as the wing. The tarsus is rather longer than the exposed 

 culmen, which is about equal in length to the middle toe and claw. 

 Coloration : male and female different.
