Genus RHYACOPHILUS Kaup. 
Rhyacophilus Kaur Naturl. Syst., 1829, 140. (Type, Tringa glareola Linnzus.) 
Small Tringine (wing 115-126 mm.) closely resembling Tringa but 
bill relatively shorter (exposed culmen much shorter than tarsus), 
nasal groove broader, and metasternum 4-notched. 
Bill straight and slender, its depth at base equal to about one- 
eighth the length of exposed culmen, the latter about three-fourths 
as long as tarsus, or a little more; nasal groove broad, extending about 
halfway to tip of maxilla; wing rather long, the longest primary (outer- 
most) exceeding distal secondaries by less than half the length of 
wing; tips of longest tertials reaching nearly to tip of longest primary. 
Tail between one-third and one-half as long as wing, truncate or nearly 
so, but middle pair of rectrices slightly but abruptly longer than the 
rest; rectrices 12. Tarsus about one and a half times as long as middle
