Ce genre offre les caractères généraux des Spermophilæ, mais s'en distingue par la forme du bec. La mandibule supérieure est plus petite que l'inférieure, recourbé et ses bords fortement échancrés en forme de faucille; mandibule inférieure très haute près de sa base, puis se rétrécissant brusquement en ligne droite vers la pointe; narines basales, elliptiques. Je place dans ce genre, outre l'espèce nouvelle décrite ci-dessous et qui en est le type, les Pyrrhula falcirostris Tem. et le Spermophila superciliaris Pelz. (Sporophila Euleri Cab.). 2.
