Pogonotriccus
''Pogonotriccus'' is a genus of small passerine birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. They are found in wooded habitats of Central America, Central and South America. Taxonomy The genus was erected by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis and Ferdinand Heine in 1859 with the southern bristle tyrant (''Pogonotriccus eximius'') as the type species. The genus has sometimes been merged into the genus ''Phylloscartes''. In 2004 John W. Fitzpatrick, John Fitzpatrick in the ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' chose to treat ''Pogonotriccus'' as a separate genus based on the slight differences in behaviour of the birds in the two genera. Frank Gill (ornithologist), Frank Gill and David Donsker then also recognised ''Pogonotriccus'' in the list of bird species that they maintain on behalf of the International Ornithological Committee. The evidence for splitting the genus is weak: a 2009 molecular phylogenetic study that included one species from ''Pogonotriccus'' and three ...
