Genus Psephotus. 
Generic characters. 
As in Euphema , but the cere , in which the nostrils are placed, 
more swollen or developed ; wings rather short and the tail much 
lengthened; the lateral feathers short and not so regularly graduated; 
feet more adapted for terrestrial progression. 
All the members of this genus are confined to Australia, and hold 
an intermediate station between the Platycerci on the one hand and 
the Euphemce on the other. They pass much of their time on the 
ground, where the principal part of their food is procured ; inhabit 
the interior rather than the country near the coast, and are adapted 
for the open plains, where they often assemble in vast flocks. 
I have figured four species, and I have seen a drawing in the pos- 
session of Mr. Brown, made by Ferdinand Bauer from a bird said 
to have been found near the Gulf of Carpentaria, which will pro- 
bably form a fifth. 
394. Psephotus heematogaster, Gould .... Vol. V. PI. 33. 
This species differs from all the other members of the genus, as 
well as from those of the allied genera, in the pointed form of the 
tips of its primaries. 
I think there are two birds confounded under this name, one 
with yellow and the other with scarlet under tail-coverts ; but it will 
be necessary to see other examples before deciding that they are 
distinct. Captain Sturt brought specimens with yellow under tail- 
coverts from the Depot in the interior of South Australia.

Genus Euphema. 
The members of this genus are exclusively Australian and appear 
to be confined to the extra-tropical parts of the country, no species
