Lepidothrix
''Lepidothrix'' is a genus of passerine birds in the manakin family Pipridae. Birds in the genus are predominantly found in South America, but one species, the velvety manakin, also ranges into Central America. The females of this genus have green plumage with yellow bellies, as do some of the males. The remaining males have black plumage with white or blue crowns. Some also have yellow bellies or blue rumps.Snow, D. W. (2004). Family Pipridae (Manakins). Pp. 110-169 in: del Hoyo, J., Elliott, A., & Christie, D. A. eds (2004).

Taxonomy The genus ''Lepidothrix'' was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854. The type species was subsequently designated as the blue-capped manakin.

Blue-capped Manakin
The blue-capped manakin (''Lepidothrix coronata'') is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. The males have a brilliant blue cap; some have black, others have green body plumage, but the relationship between the subspecies is not well understood. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and heavily degraded former forest. Taxonomy The blue-capped manakin was formally described in 1825 by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix under the binomial name ''Pipra coronata''. The type locality is the state of São Paulo de Olivença in western Brazil. The specific epithet is from Latin ''coronatus'' meaning "crowned". The blue-capped manakin is now the type species of the genus ''Lepidothrix'' that was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854. Phylogeny based on Ohlson et al. 2013. Subspecies Six subspecies are recognised, but see the text be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pipridae
The manakins are a family, Pipridae, of small suboscine passerine birds. The group contains some 54 species distributed through the American tropics. The name is from Middle Dutch ''mannekijn'' "little man" (also the source of the different bird name '' mannikin''). Description Manakins range in size from and in weight from . Species in the genus ''Tyranneutes'' are the smallest manakins, those in the genus ''Antilophia'' are believed to be the largest (since the genus ''Schiffornis'' are no longer considered manakins). They are compact stubby birds with short tails, broad and rounded wings, and big heads. The bill is short and has a wide gap. Females and first-year males have dull green plumage; most species are sexually dichromatic in their plumage, the males being mostly black with striking colours in patches, and in some species having long, decorative tail or crown feathers or erectile throat feathers. In some species, males from two to four years old have a distinctive sub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Blue-rumped Manakin
The blue-rumped manakin (''Lepidothrix isidorei'') is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is montane forest and, in Ecuador, the species is considered a foothill specialty. These tiny manakins, which average 8 cm (3.1 in) in length, are infrequently encountered away from their leks, where the black, white-capped and blue backed males display for female attentions.

Golden-crowned Manakin
The golden-crowned manakin (''Lepidothrix vilasboasi'') is a small species of perching bird in the manakin family (Pipridae). It is endemic to the south-central Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, and it is threatened by habitat loss. Discovery and recovery Helmut Sick described this species in 1959 based on a series of specimens collected a few years before near a small tributary of the upper Rio Cururu-ri in the east Brazilian Amazon. The species was only rediscovered (in part due to confusion over the original type locality) in 2002 and is now known from a number of locations in an area bordered by the Jamanxim and Tapajos rivers and the Cachimbo Range. Hybrid speciation Genomic analyses indicates that the species is of hybrid origin between the opal-crowned manakin and snow-capped manakin and may represent one of a few cases of hybrid species in birds. The golden-crowned manakin closely resembles both its parent species with the exception of its unique yellow crown. The white cr ...

White-fronted Manakin
The white-fronted manakin (''Lepidothrix serena'') is a species of bird in the family Pipridae, the manakins. It is native to French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and northeastern Brazil where it inhabits subtropical and tropical moist lowland forest. The male is mainly black, with a blue rump, yellow belly patches and a conspicuous patch of white feathers extending forwards from its forehead. The female is gray and black with a pale yellow belly and white eye ring. This is a fairly common species with a wide range, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern". Taxonomy In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the white-fronted manakin in his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected from Cayenne in French Guiana. He used the French name ''Le manakin à front blanc'' and the Latin ''Manacus alba fronte''. The two stars (**) at the start of the section indicates that Bris ...
