Diglossa Wash* 



Bill shorter than the head, and much compressed on the sides, the culmen gradually curved to the 

 tip, which is suddenly hooked over the lower mandible, very acute, and tridentated on the sides ; the 

 lower mandible much compressed on the sides to the tip, which is very acute and curved upwards ; the 

 nostrils basal, lateral, with the opening small, rounded, and almost hidden by the small frontal plumes. 

 Wings rather long, with the first quill much shorter than the second, which is rather shorter than the 

 third and fourth ; these are the longest. Tail moderate and slightly rounded. Tarsi much shorter than 

 the middle toe, and covered with very broad scales. Toes short and strong, with the outer toe rather 

 longer than the inner, and united at its base ; the hind toe nearly as long as the middle toe, and strong ; 

 the claws moderate, compressed, and curved. 



The species of this genus are found in Mexico and the northern portions of South America.

Bill shorter than the head, broad at the base, much compressed on the sides, with the culmen slightly 

 curved to the tip, which is entire, sometimes indexed slightly over that of the lower mandible ; the gonys 

 long and advancing upwards ; the nostrils basal, lateral, with the opening small and rounded. Wings 

 moderate, with the first quill much shorter than the second, and the second rather shorter than the third 

 and fourth, which are the longest. Tail long, graduated, and soft, with the ends of the feathers varying 

 in form according to each species. Tarsi rather longer than the middle toe, and covered with broad 

 scales in front. Toes short, with the outer toe longer than the inner, and both united at their base ; the 

 hind toe nearly as long as the middle toe, and strong ; the claws moderate, strong, and much curved. 



* It was in the Isis for 1832 that this genus was established by Wagler. Serrirostrum and Uncirostrum of D'Orbigny and Baron 

 Lafresnaye (1837 and 1838), Agrilorhinus of the Prince of Canino (1838), and Campylops of M. Lichtenstein are synonymous. 



t Established by M. Temminek in 1820 {Manuel d'Ornithologie). Philydor of Spix (1824), Dendroma of Mr. Swainson (1837), and 

 Anabacerthia of Baron Lafresnaye, are synonymous.
