™ . . , . nf South America are the localities for most of the species ; but some are found in various parts 
of Mri^TWr manners' and habits are supposed to be the same a. those of the last genus ; but they have not hitherto 
been recorded by travellers.

T , f M closer (1827) and Micropogon of M. Temminck (182?) 
* Vieillot established this genus in 1816 ( Analyse , p. 27-). e . , w hj c h Cucupicus of M. Lesson (1831), Polysticte of Dr. A. 
are synonymous. It includes Ranzini’s genus Trachyphonus (182 ), 
Smith (,1835), and Promepicus of Baron Lafresnaye are synonymous, 
t It was in 1835 that M. Muller proposed this division.
