Oberholser—Review of the Plover Genus Ochthodromus 517 
as an alternative name for Eupoda Brandt in case the latter 
proved to be preoccupied by Eupodes; but, since Eupoda is, as 
already shown, a perfectly tenable term, Eupodella becomes of 
course a synonym. 
The species referable to this genus are, therefore, as follows: 
Eupoda vereda (Gould). 
Eupoda asiatica (Pallas). 
Eupoda montana (Townsend). 
Pernettyva Mathews. 
Pernettyva Mathews, Birds Australia, III, pt. 2, May 2, 
1913, p. 114 (type by original designation and monotypy, 
Charadrius falklandicus Latham). 
Diagnosis. —Similar to Eupoda, but wing 4—4 1 /3 times the 
length of tarsus; tail 1%—2 times the length of tarsus; ex¬ 
posed culmen barely more than % the length of the head; tar¬ 
sus only 1^2 —14/5 times the length of middle toe without 
claw; and the bare portion of tibia only 3/5—4/5 of the 
length of middle toe without claw. 
Description. —Wing 2—2i/4 times the length of the tail, 7—7% 
times the length of the exposed culmen, and 4—4 1 /3 times 
the length of the tarsus; tail rounded, or rounded with the 
two middle rectrices projecting beyond the rest, its length 3^—3^/2 
times the length of exposed culmen, and 1%—2 times the 
length of the tarsus; bill slender and rather long, the terminal 
portion but little expanded vertically, the gonys moderately 
or but slightly angled and not strongly ascending; exposed 
culmen but slightly more than half the length of the head, about 
31/2 times the height of bill at base, and from 3^2—4 times its 
breadth at the loral feathering; dertrum more than 2/5 but 
less than half the length of the exposed culmen; tarsus about 
1% times the length of the exposed culmen, and from 1%—1 4/5 
times the length of the middle toe without claw; bare portion of 
tibia 3/5—4/5 o fthe length of middle toe without claw. 
Type.—Charadrius falklandicus Latham. 
Remarks. —Mr. Mathews proposed the name Pernettyva as 
a subgeneric designation for Charadrius falklandicus Latham 
under the generic group Leucopolius of Bonaparte^; and at the 
same time he placed the species Charad^dus bicinctus Jar dine
