Familia: Digito quarto definito retroverso: basi linguae longissimae extensili. 
Rostrum minus crassum, rectum, vel non nisi levissime arcuatum, apice acuto vel 
plerumque cuneato , non deflexo ; maxillis aequalibus. Rectrices 10 aequaUs vel 
mediae gradatim, paulo longiores. Accedunt vero plumae duae rectricibus similes 
sed minimae, rectrices spuriae dicendae poliusque tectrices firmiores habendae: supra 
basim rectricum lateraliiim impositae. 
Genus a reliquis differs rectricibus firmioribus , gradatis ^ acutis, scapo crasso^ 
forti, elastico insignibus. — 283 Specc.
