With Bucco tectus and its two nearly allied forms we leave the series of Black-and-white Puff- 

 birds, and commence another category with the general plumage of some shade of brown, but 

 still bearing a broad black bar across the under plumage. To this division appertain three 

 species, all very well marked, and easily distinguished from one another — B. macrodactylus, 

 B. rujicollis, and B. hicinctus.
