The bill is quite Parian or shorter than the head, strong, higher than broad 
the ridge of the upper mandible obtuse and its tip slightly emarginated; both 
mandibles are nearly of equal length, having their outlines distinctly accurved: 
naral orifices a round aperture in the fore part of the nasal membrane: the gap 
feebly bristled. Tarse elongated and slender, the toes moderate, the outermost 
longer than the inner toe and the claws compressed, that on the hind toe much 
the strongest and the most curved. Wings having the 4. 5. primaries equal and 
longest, the 3. being a triffle shorter; tail even and otherwise much resembling 
that of Tricophorus. The wings and tail are tolerably firm, but the rest of the 
plumage is excessively ligth, soft, and unsubstantial.
