DEFINITIONS
SUBLEGATUS
(Tyrannidae; Ϯ Northern Scrub Flycatcher S. arenarum glaber) L. sub near to; genus Legatus Sclater, 1859, piratic flycatcher; “76. SUBLEGATUS GLABER, sp. et gen. nov. (Pl. XIII. fig. 2.) Apparently the adult of the bird numbered 1340a in Sclater's 'American Catalogue.' It is not quite a Legatus, and in some aspects comes nearer to Elainea; but we are not able to refer it satisfactorily to any other genus. We propose, therefore, to give it a new name, with the following characters:— SUBLEGATUS, gen. nov. Habitus generalis Elaineæ, sed narium aperturis seorsum versis, rotundatis et omnino patentibus. Rostrum aliter fere sicut in genere Legato, sed magis depressum. Rictus setis paucis et inconspicuis armatus. Alæ subbreves: remige tertio quarto et quinto æqualibus et longissimis, primo nonum fere æquante: secundo sextum paulo excedente. Cauda longa, fere quadrata. Tarsi sicut in Elainea, sed robustiores." (P. Sclater & Salvin 1868); "Sublegatus Sclater and Salvin, 1868, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 171. Type, by monotypy, Sublegatus glaber Sclater and Salvin." (Traylor in Peters 1979, VIII, 18).
