Genus NEOGLOTTIS?2 Ridgway. 
Medium-sized to rather large Tringine (wing 149-199 mm.) re- 
sembling Glottis but with bill more slender, less compressed, and not 
distinctly recurved, the exposed culmen much shorter than tarsus; 
tarsus nearly one-third as long as wing, and the lower back and rump 
not white. 
Bill slender (its depth at base equal to less than one-eighth the 
length of exposed culmen), slightly compressed, very faintly if at all 
upturned for distal half, the exposed culmen nearly as long as tarsus 
(N. melanoleuca) or decidedly shorter (WV. flavipes); nostrils sub- 
basal, longitudinally linear (slit-like), pervious; nasal groove extend- 
ing less than half the distance to tip of maxilla (about two-fifths the 
distance in N. melanoleucus, nearly half the distance in N. flavipes); 
loral and malar antiz on practically the same vertical line, the mental 
antia as far as or beyond base posterior end of nostril; edge of frontal 
feathering forming a more or less deeply concave line at base of cul- 
men. Wing ample, pointed, the longest primary (outermost) ex- 
ceeding distal secondaries by more than half the length of wing; 
elongated tertials rather broad, though tapering terminally, the tip 
of longest falling considerably short of tip of fourth primary (counted 
from outside). Tail about two-fifths as long as wing, very slightly 
@ Néos, new; +Glottis. Type, Scolopax melanoleuca Gmelin.
