Laniarius Vieill.* 



Bill rather slender, straight, much compressed on the sides ; the culmen slightly curved to the tip 

 which is slightly hooked and emarginated, the gonys moderate, and advancing upwards to the tip, which 

 is emarginated ; the gape furnished with a few short bristles ; the nostrils basal, lateral, and rounded. 

 Wings moderate and rounded, with the fifth and sixth quills the longest. Tail lengthened, and more or 

 less rounded. Tarsi longer than the middle toe ; covered in front with transverse scales, and on the 

 sides by an entire one. Toes lengthened, the lateral ones unequal, and the outer united to the first joint, 

 the hind toe strong, and longer than the outer toe ; the claws moderate, arched, and acute. 



These birds are found on the continent of Africa, where they frequent the branches of the lofty trees that are 

 located near the rivers. Their chief food is insects, regardless of their states, which they search for on the branches or 

 among the foliage. The larger species are said to attack young and sickly birds, and some feed on fruits and berries. 

 The nests are hidden in the bushes or in the trees that border the rivers, and are composed of moss and stems of plants. 

 The eggs are usually from four to five in number.

* Established by Vieillot {Analyse, p. 41.) in 1816. In 1824 Mr. Swainson proposed Malaconotus, and in 1826 M. Boie used 

 Felicinius for this section. It embraces Dryoscopus of M. Boie (1826), with which my Hapalophus (1837) is coequal.
