Fain. COTING I DTE. 
The Cotingas (Cotingidae) are likewise a very characteristic Family of the 
Neogean Avifauna. They do not extend so far north and south as the Tyrants 
but range from Central America to Argentina. The typical forms bear a most 
gorgeous plumage but only two plain-coloured species occur in Jamaica. One 
of these belongs to the genus Platypoaris, which has several representativ es 
in South America, but the other ( Hylonax ) is confined to Jamaica, and has only 
recently been moved into this Family from the Tyrannidae, with which it has 
been hitherto associated.
