Antilles, nor west of the Andes south of the bay of Guayaquil.
The sub-families and genera are as follows :
Ckacin^, 4 genera.
— —
(Plate XV., Vol. II. p. 28)
—
Crax (8 sp.), Mexico to Paraguay
; Nothocrax (1 sp.), Guiana, Upper
Eio Negro, and Upper Amazon ; Pmtxi (1 sp.), Guiana to
Venezuela; Mitua (2 sp.), Guiana and Upper Amazon.
Penelopin^, 7 genera.
Stegnolcema (1 sp.), Columbia and
Ecuador ; Penelope (14 sp.), Mexico to Paraguay and to western
slope of Ecuadorian Andes ; Penelopina (1 sp.), Guatemala
Pipile {3 sp.), Venezuela to Eastern Brazil; Aburria (1 sp),
Columbia ; Chamcepetes (2 sp.), Costa Pica to Peru ; Ortalida
(18 sp.), New Mexico to Paraguay, also Tobago.
Oeeophasin^, 1 genus. Oreophasis (1 sp.), Guatemala.
It thus appears that the Cracinse are confined to South America
east of the Andes, except one species in Central America;
whereas nine Penelopinai and Oreophasis are found north of
Panama. The species of the larger genera are strictly repre-
sentative, each having its own distinct geographical area, so that
two species of the same genus are rarely or never found in
the same locality.
Family 92.—TINAMID^. (9 Genera, 39 Species.)
