XlPHORHYNCHUS SzV/linS.* 



Bill very long, much curved, slender, broad at the base, and suddenly compressed on the sides to 

 the tip, which is entire. The other characters like those of the former genus. 



It is in the warmer parts of South America that the species of this division are found.

Picolaptes Less.\ 



Bill lono - , rather slender, and curved for its entire length, with the sides much compressed to the tip, 

 which is entire ; the gonys very long, and curved ; the nostrils lateral and basal, with the opening oval 

 and partly closed by a membrane. Wings rather long and pointed, with the third quill the longest. 

 The remaining characters are similar to those of the former divisions. 



The species that compose this genus are found in the tropical parts of South America.
