The only difference is in a rather less amount of curvature of culmen than in most species, and a rather less depth of bill; although in this respect G. nigrirostris agrees exactly with Vireolanius. The legs are perhaps less stout. The pattern of coloration is qviite the same. The type differs most from Cyclorhis, and at the same time from the other species asso- ciated with it in Vireolanius, in having the tail rather longer than the wings, not Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Baird, Spencer Fullerton, 1823-1887.
