EuSCARTHMUS Pr. MttX* 



Bill short, rather broad, and slightly depressed at the base, with the culmen curved, and the sides 

 more or less compressed to the tip, which is emarginated ; the gonys short and ascending ; the nostrils 

 lateral, with the opening small, oval, and partly covered by projecting weak bristles. Wings short and 

 rounded ; with the third, fourth, and sometimes the fifth quills the longest. Tail rather long, and 

 more or less rounded. Tarsi longer than the middle toe, slender, and covered with broad scales. Toes 

 short; with the lateral toes equal, and the outer united at the base; the hind toe rather long, and padded 

 beneath. 



The species of this genus are found in various parts of South America. They frequent the bushes in small troops 

 of three or four individuals, and are seen actively engaged in hopping about from branch to branch in search of insects. 

 Some species seem to prefer the borders of lakes, rivulets, and moist places, where they are often observed resting 

 on the aquatic plants, and, while thus situated, they occasionally spread their tails like a fan. The nest is usually 

 placed in a bush, and is composed in the manner which is general in the family.
