The White-winged Pratincole is the only species of the genus which has whiteaxillaries, a character common to old and young. It is only known from West Africa, where it is a resident in the Fantee Country(Sharpe, Ibis, 1870, p. 487), the valley of the Niger (Forbes, Ibis, 1883, p. 129), thevalley of the Ogowai (Bocage, Orn. dAngoia, p. 422), and the Loango coast (Falkenstein,Journ.

G. megapoda and G. ernini, by its grey axillaries, and from those species by having a whitepatch on the outer webs, as well as on the inner webs, of the secondaries at the adult it may be recognized by its white nuchal collar; but as its ally G. megapodahas no collar in young in first plumage, it is probable that the young in first plumage ofG. nuchalis are also without
