Parepthianura Mathews, Emu, Vol. XII., pt. 3, 
p. 205, Jan. 1st, 1913. Type (by monotypy) Ephthianura tricolor Gould. 
At the place quoted I pointed out the distinguishing characters as to coloration 
and I have reproduced them in connection with the preceding genus. 
Structurally the bill is generally a little longer and the wing has the second, 
third, fourth and fifth primaries longest, the first very small and narrow, less 
than one-fourth the length of the preceding, the others regularly decreasing and 
the innermost equal to the secondaries ; the tarsus is about the same length 
but the scutes are only obscurely seen on the front, while the hind-claw is 
shorter and more curved and the hind-toe and claw is shorter than the middle 
toe and claw.
