	THE RELATIONSHIPS AND EVOLUTION OF THE ROLLERS: FAMILIES CORACIIDAE, BRACHYPTERACIIDAE, AND LEPTOSOMATIDAE
		Leptosomatidae: Leptosomus discolor, AMNH 448, USNM 291844, 291845.
		As outlined above, many of the similarities of the Coraciidae and Leptosomatidae are probably the result of convergence because of similar ways of life, whereas the differences of the Coraciidae and Brachypteraciidae are due to the very different sets of adaptations these birds exhibit.
		The interrelationships and evolu- tion of the rollers is. the subject of this paper; their affinities to the remaining families of the order will be discussed in the future.

	Richard Rolle De Hampole - LoveToKnow 1911
		It is a curious fact that the roller, notwithstanding its occurrence in the Levant, cannot be identified with any species mentioned by Aristotle.
		467 Leptosomus discolor, which, on account of its zygodactylous feet, some authorities place among the Cuculidae, while others have considered it the type of a distinct family Leptosomatidae.
		The genera Brachypteracias and Atelornis present fewer structural differences from the rollers, and perhaps may be rightly placed with them; but the species of the latter have long tarsi, and are believed to be of terrestrial habit, which rollers generally certainly are not.

		He returned to Fort Collins to attend Colorado State University, where he graduated with BS and MS degrees in zoology in 1957 and 1959, respectively.
		His PhD degree was obtained in 1964 from the Department of Nematology at the University of California, Davis, where his dissertation research was concerned with the comparative ultrastructure and systematics of marine nematodes of the family Leptosomatidae.
		Upon completing his graduate work, Duane was hired by the Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., to continue research in marine nematology.

		We studied relationships of five extant members of the endemic Malagasy family Brachypteraciidae, the ground rollers, using several mitochondrial genes (cytochrome-b, NADH dehydrogenase 2, 12S ribosomal RNA, and cytochrome oxidase I).
		As outgroups, we used other coraciiforms including the Cuckoo Roller(Family Leptosomatidae, Leptosomus discolor), several true rollers (Corcaciidae) and a tody (Todidae).
		Partial sequences of the Long-tailed Ground Roller (Uratelornis chimaera) were obtained from toe pad samples taken off museum specimens.
