[Illustration: FIG. 58.–Wry-bill. _Anarhynchus frontalis._ × ⅖.] _Anarhynchus frontalis_, the Wry-bill of New Zealand, is grey, with a black gorget and whitish lower parts; the habits are as in _Aegialitis_, but the laterally-twisted bill enables the bird to pick up insects from around stones with the greatest ease. Thirteen species may perhaps be included in _Lobivanellus_ (Wattled Lapwing); but here, as in the next genus, _Vanellus_, there are many diversities of opinion. The two groups are fairly similar in habits, nests, and eggs. Some have a hallux, some not. _L. pectoralis_ of Australia and Tasmania, _L. indicus_, ranging from Arabia and Mesopotamia to Cochin China, _L. cinereus_ of China and Japan, which migrates as far as Bengal, _L. {275}melanocephalus_ of North-East Africa, _L. superciliosus_, extending from West Africa to Lake Tanganyika, and the crested _L._ (_Sarciophorus_) _tectus_, found from Senegal to East Equatorial Africa and Arabia, have small loral wattles; _L._ (_Lobipluvia_) _malabaricus_ of India, Ceylon, and Burma, _L. miles_, reaching from Timor Laut to New Guinea and Australia, _L. cucullatus_ of Sumatra, Java, and Timor, _L. lobatus_ of Australia, accidental in New Zealand, _L. lateralis_ of the southern, and _L. senegalensis_ of the northern Ethiopian Region, with _L. albiceps_ of West Africa and the Upper Congo, have large wattles, and, except the first, a wing-spur. _L. lobatus_ is olive-brown above, with black crown, nape, and wings; the cheeks, tail-coverts, and lower parts are white; the tail is white with black tip; the bill, wattles, and spurs are yellow, the feet purplish-red.
