Calothorax G. R. Gray* 



Bill long, very slender, and curved throughout its length, with the base broad and covered with the 

 projecting plumes ; the culmen rounded to the tip, which is acute, and the lateral margins partly 

 covering the lower mandible ; the nostrils basal, and concealed by the frontal plumes. Wings moderate 

 and pointed, with the first quill the longest. Tail more or less long, usually forked, and composed of 

 broad or narrowed feathers, with their ends either acute or rounded. Tarsi very short, slender, and 

 partly clothed with plumes. Toes moderate, very slender ; the fore toes united at their base, especially 

 the outer toe, which is shorter than the inner ; the hind toe moderate, slender, and furnished with a 

 small claw. 



It is in the central and warmer parts of America that the species which compose this division are found.
