Guian. iii. p. 690) this bird is only a migrant in British Guiana and very local in its distribution. He met with it in the Canuku Mountains, but only during the months of June and July, when the fruits on which it feeds were ripe. Schomburgk did not observe it breeding. The "Macusis" called it Warara-tarika. Genus OUEKULA Vieill. Querula Vieillot, Analyse nbuv. Orn. p. 37, 1916. Type Q. purpurata (P. L. S. Mull.).. Fig. 121.—Querula purpurata. This monotypic genus is easily distinguished by its almost entire black plumage. The bill is short and wide—its width at the base x2.
