Difters from the indian Batrachostomi in the sniallness of its bill, and in the 
general markings of its plumage, which agree in some measure with the species 
of true Podargus. The feathers of the upper mandible in front of the head and 
above the ears are much prolonged into fine hairlike bristles; they are composed 
of a long slender stem, having very slender branches, springing from the sides 
nt various distances, and thus agreeing with those of the australian genus Aego- 
theles. The bill i strong, with the nostrils situated like those of Batrachostomus 
and of similar form.
