The black subterminal band across the tail appears in C. morinellus and C. totanirostris, and to some extent in C. veredus and C. australis. The absence of the white at or near the base of the outer webs of the innermost primaries is absolute in C. rufiventris, C. modestus, , C. morinellus, and C. veredus; but in C. fdvus virghiicus the brown of this part is more or less mottled with white, and in C. australis the white is replaced by buff. The nearly black central upper tail-coverts are more or less developed in C. modestus and in C. rufiventris. * « Subgeneric group Pluviales. f Typical CHARADRIUS PLUVIALIS. GOLDEN PLOVER.
