Thanks Mark.
Yes Metopothrichinae and Xenerpestinae on this page are definitely nude.
Pipridae and Platyrinchinae in the other pdf would be nude as well if they were new here (which they were not -- Pipridae is either by Rafinesque 1815, if you accept his names, or by Vigors 1825, if you don't; Platyrinchinae is in my opinion by Sundevall 1836). The attached words are not a statement of characters. A statement about the circumscription of a family-group taxon, the inclusion/exclusion of this or that genus, or the general sharpness of the boundary of the taxon, does not make a name available if no actual characters are mentioned.
