Tarse and toes much shorter and more robust than in Pastor, the former not exceeding in length the middle toe with its claw, and the claws also rather short, stout, and much curved.  Wings reaching beyond the middle of the tail, having the first primary minute, the 2d and 3d nearly equal, the second being longest.  Skin thick, and plumage rather firm and glossy.     A. coronatus, Nobis.  ... General colour black with a steel shine; the forehead, lores, crown and occiput, chin and throat, together with a large wing-spot on the base of the outer webs of the primaries excepting the first one, —bright yellow; the coronal feathers slender and rigid, and those of the sides of the forehead erect and curving over towards the mesial line, forming a frontal crest somewhat resembling that of Pastor cristatellus" (Blyth 1842); "Ampeliceps Blyth, 1842, Journ.
