What is "guara rubra"

Ibis \I"bis\, n. [L. ibis, Gr. ?; of Egyptian origin.] (Zo["o]l.) Any bird of the genus Ibis and several allied genera, of the family Ibid[ae], inhabiting both the Old World and the New. Numerous species are known. They are large, wading birds, having a long, curved beak, and feed largely on reptiles.

Note: The sacred ibis of the ancient Egyptians ( Ibis [AE]thiopica) has the head and neck black, without feathers. The plumage of the body and wings is white, except the tertiaries, which are lengthened and form a dark purple plume. In ancient times this bird was extensively domesticated in Egypt, but it is now seldom seen so far north. The glossy ibis ( Plegadis autumnalis), which is widely distributed both in the Old World and the New, has the head and neck feathered, except between the eyes and bill; the scarlet ibis ( Guara rubra) and the white ibis ( Guara alba) inhabit the West Indies and South America, and are rarely found in the United States. The wood ibis ( Tantalus loculator) of America belongs to the Stork family ( Ciconid[ae]). See Wood ibis.
