Actiaa Heine, in Heine and Reichenow, Nom. Mus. Hein. Orn., 1896, 329. 
(New name for Arquatella Baird, on grounds of purism.) 
Medium-sized to rather large Eroliine (wing 108-135 mm.) with 
tarsus shorter than middle toe with claw, the latter shorter than 
exposed culmen; bare portion of tibia less than half as long as tarsus, 
and with bill compressed, straight, or very slightly decurved distally. 
Bill much longer than tarsus (exposed culmen about equal to tar- 
sus and first phalanx of middle toe), compressed (nearly twice as deep 
as broad basally), gradually tapering terminally, straight or very 
slightly decurved distally; nasal groove broad, narrowly cuneate to 
beyond middle of maxilla, where rather abruptly contracted; mandi- 
ble with a distinct though narrow lateral groove; nostril sub-basal, 
narrowly elliptical, its upper edge slightly operculate; anterior edge 
of loral feathering forming a nearly straight vertical line, the malar 
antia slightly but decidedly more anterior, the mental antia nearly 
on a vertical line with anterior end of nostrils. Wing rather long, 
pointed, the longest primary (outermost) exceeding distal seconda- 
ries by slightly more than half the length of wing; longest tertials 
falling far short of tip of longest primary. Tail more than two-fifths 
a “exrios, of the seashore. (Richmond.)
