TANAGRINiE. 
EupHONiA Desm.* 
Bill sliort, broad and depressed at the base, and laterally compressed, the culmen much arched and 
somewhat keeled, with the tip emarginated and the lateral margins nearly straight, and sometimes den- 
tated ; the nostrils basal, rounded, and partly concealed by the frontal plumes. Wings moderate, with the 
first and second quills the longest. Tail short and nearly even. Tai^si slender, as long as the middle 
toe. Toes short, with the lateral ones unequal ; the claws short and curved. 
These birds live in small troops on the summits of the forest trees in the warmer parts of South America, especially 
on those in the neighbourhood of rivers. They are very active and restless in their movements.

Cypsnagra Less.-\ 
Bill moderate, somewhat slender, conic, with the culmen arched to the tip, which is entire, the lateral 
margins arched, and the gonys lengthened and advancing upwards ; the nostrils basal, lateral, rounded, 
and exposed. Wings moderate, with the second, third, and fourth quills the longest. Tail lengthened 
and even. Tai^si strong, as long as the middle toe. Toes short, with the lateral ones equal; claws 
short, strong, and slightly curved. 
This type is peculiar to South America, where they are seen in small troops of six or seven individuals, flying about 
from bush to bush ; they stay but a short time on each, seeking for grains and buds, which form a jwrtlon of their 
food. 
C. ruficollis (Licht.) Cat. BerL Mus. No. 330. — Cypsnagra hirundinacea Less. ; Leucopygia ruficollis Swains. 
* This genus was proposed by Desmarest (1805) in his Hist. Nat. des Tangras, &c. 
t M. Lesson gave this name in his Traite d' Ornithologie, 1831, p. 460.; and, in 1837, Mr. Swainson proposed Leucopygia for the same 
type.
