 with cere wholly naked (the nostril completely exposed), tip of 

 seventh primary not attenuated, and with tail reddish or dusky 

 brown, at least on under side. 



Bill moderate, decidedly shorter than head, its depth at base much 

 greater than its length, the maxilla truncate-conical or subpyramidal 

 in transverse section; culmen nearly to quite as long as outer toe 

 without claw (sometimes as long as middle toe without claw), regu- 

 larly and strongly decurved from base, usually broadly flattened 

 (rarely shallowly but broadly grooved between lateral ridges) but 

 sometimes rounded; depth of maxilla at base not greater (often 

 less) than its width at same point; maxillary unguis rather thick, 

 rounded (transversely) at tip, its width at base of the distinctly corru- 

 gated palatal surface less than its length; maxillary tomium distinctly 

 notched at base of unguis, the remaining portion nearly straight or 

 slightly concave proximally with anterior portion usually more or 

 less prominent, forming a rounded or obtusely angular lobe or 

 "tooth"; depth of mandible at base usually a little less (never more) 

 than length of gonys, slightly to considerably less than its width 

 (transversely), the mandible more or less flattened laterally, rounded
