Genus — Y O L A . 
Myola Mathews, Austral Av. Bee., Vol. I., p. 195, 1913 Type M. pacifica. 
Ardeine birds, somewhat resembling NotopJioyx, but differing in the nature 
of the breast-ornament, the longer, stouter bill, and longer legs. 
The culmen is long and stout, less than one-fourth the length of the 
wing, and about one-half the length of the tail. 
The wing is long, with the wing-formula similar to the preceding genus. 
The tail is long and little less than half the length of the wing. 
The legs are long, a long, exposed tibia being present ; the metatarsus 
is nearly twice the length of culmen, and, as in Notophoyx and Torwphoyx, 
the regular transverse frontal scutella show little signs of breaking-up. The 
toes and interwebbing as in preceding genera. 
I have noted how Myola can be separated from Notophoyx and 
Tonophoyx under the former genus.
