Serra do Mar Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma chrysolophum) [XC18173]
by Nick Athanas from Parque Estadual Intervales, SP, Brazil (song)
Systematic position of genus doubtful. Possibly closest to Tyranneutes, and both genera almost certainly only distantly related to the typical piprids. Probably closer to the Tyrannidae but traditionally included in present family, where retained pending further study. Originally named as Muscicapa luteocephala, but that name invalid, as preoccupied. Considered to form a superspecies with Saffron-crested Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma chrysocephalum), Sulphur-bellied Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma sulphureiventer), Pale-bellied Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma pallescens) and Wied's Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma aurifrons). Previously treated as conspecific with Wied's Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma aurifrons), but the two differ ecologically and vocally, and overlap geographically to a limited extent.
