The genus Oxyrhamphus (2 sp.) which ranges from Brazil to 
Costa Eica, has usually been placed in the Dendrocolaptidse ; 
but Messrs Sclater and Salvin consider it to be the type of a 
distinct family group, most allied to the Tyrannidse.

The Pipridse, or Manakins, have generally been associated 
with the next family, and they have a very similar distribution. 
The great majority of the genera and species are found in the 
equatorial regions of South America, only 9 species belonging 
to 5 genera ranging north of Panama, while 2 or 3 species ex- 
tend to the southern limit of the tropical forests in Paraguay 
and Brazil. The genera which go north of Panama are Piprites , 
PipvOsy Ghiroxiphia, OhiTounxchcBris, and Hctovopclunct. PipTd is 
the largest genus, containing 19 species, and having representa- 
tives throughout the whole range of the family. As in all the 
more extensive families peculiar to the Neotropical region, the 
distribution of the genera will be found in the tables appended 
to the chapter on the Neotropical region in the Third Part of 
this work. (Yol. II. p. 103).
