I weote: “Differs from Coracina Vieillot (i.e. Graucalus) in its weaker bill, 
shorter tail, and weaker feet.”

The wing has the first primary very narrow and short, less than half the 
second which is longer than the sixth, but shorter than the fifth, while the 
third is longest, with the fourth a little short, the third, fourth and fifth being 
almost subequal. 
The tail is a little emarginate, shorter, about two-thirds the length of the 
wing with the feathers much broader than in the preceding genus and the 
tail-coverts rather short. 
The legs are a little longer proportionately, and show about the same 
number of scutes, and the toes are similar. 
Coloration : dark grey above, wings and tail black ; below : throat dark 
grey, rest of under-surface greyish with close narrow black bars. Sexes alike ; 
immature, little different. \\ 
This generic type also occurs extra-limitally with little variation in form 
and coloration.
