_Ortalida maccalli._]
Of _Ortalida_, as characterized above, Messrs. Sclater and Salvin
enumerate eighteen species; like the rest of the family, all American.
Of these only one has so far been detected within our limits, although
it is by no means improbable that the _O. poliocephala_, Wagler (Sclater
and Salvin, Pr. Zoöl. Soc. 1870, 537), may yet be detected in New Mexico
or Arizona.[112]
