The degree to which the rostral slope of the lateral cotyla of the lower jaw is raised and ridged in Cyanolyca shows in- dividual variation and apparently taxonomic variation at the specific and subspecific levels (Appendix).
In a specimen of Cyanolyca cucullata mitrata (Azure-hooded Jay; UMMZ 209292) a rudimentary rostral condyle of the quadrate is present (Fig.
In all Cyanolyca the lateral con- dyle of the quadrate and rostral slope of the lateral cotyla are separated by a wide gap when the jaws are closed (Fig.
Jays of the genus Cyanolyca are secretive dwellers of humid montane forest throughout Central and South America; the nesting habits of most species are virtually unknown (Hardy 1964, Goodwin 1976).
The Central American species of Cyanolyca, at least, appear to be relatively nonsocial (Hardy 1964).
