Elliot, D. G. Tko Jacankhe. Auk, 1888, pp. 288-305. 
As regards nomenclature, the author wishes to substitute Brisson’s 
generic title Jacana for Linnaeus’ Parra , and would therefore prefer a 
new specific name for P. jacana. He recognizes 5 genera (see Aphalus , 
n. g., infra), and 9 species, to both of which he gives a key. The body 
of the work consists of descriptions, account of distribution, and other 
usual details.
