Gen. Otocoris, Bonap. - Crested-Larks.

Syn. Phileremos. Brehm.

Char. - Bill moderately short, slender, somewhat conical; the culmen distinctly arched ; wings moderately long; no minute primary, and the first three sub-equal and longest; tail long, even; toes short; claws rather long and nearly straight; head with a double, erectile, sincipital crest.

The crested Larks differ from the two last forms, in their shorter wings and longer tail, as well as in the double crest, and there is always some black on the head and breast.
