It is probably not very distantly related to V. leucurus; and since it is the only species of Wattled Lapwing which still inhabits the immediate neighbourhood of the great steppes, where the common ancestors of the two genera appear to have lived, we may perhaps assume that it is one of their least changed LOBIVANELLUS INDICUS. BRONZE-WINGED WATTLED LAPWING. Diagnosis. Lobivanellus rectricum fascia alba terminali latS, (circa 15 ad 20 millim.). Variations.
