Although one species of this singular genus tvas 
known to Buffon, who figured it at No. 822 of the 
PI. Enl.,* nothing worth recording is mentioned 
of its habits, nor were we more successful in regard 
to this and another species, procured during our 
travels in Brazil. Its long legs, however, leads to 
the conjecture that it occasionally frequents the 
ground, although the inequality of its toes, and the 
complete union of the first joint of the middle one 
to the outer, show that its natural habits are more 
arborial than terrestrial.
