''Lipaugus'' is a genus of birds in the family Cotingidae. Taxonomy The genus was introduced in 1828 by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1828. Boie spelled the genus name as ''Lipangus'' but this was corrected to ''Lipaugus''. The name comes from the Greek ''lipaugēs'', meaning "dark" or "devoid of light". The type species was designated by George Gray in 1840 as the screaming piha. The genus contains nine species.

Cinnamon-vented Piha
The cinnamon-vented piha (''Lipaugus lanioides'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil. This species is dull brownish-grey overall. It is slightly paler and duller underneath. As its name suggests, it has a wash of cinnamon brown at the vent. It measures long. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. Declines in range and population are likely contributed to continuing habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ... and degradation, which has caused this species to be classified as Least concern.

Screaming Piha
The screaming piha (''Lipaugus vociferans'') is a species of passerine bird in the family Cotingidae. It is found in humid forests in the Amazon and tropical parts of the Mata Atlântica in South America. They are most notable for their extraordinarily loud voice. Distribution and habitat The screaming piha is a common bird in the middle and lower parts of the canopy at altitudes below about , or up to in Venezuela and the Andean foothills. Description The screaming piha grows to a length of about . Both sexes have dull grey plumage (wings and tail often somewhat duskier) and the underparts are paler grey. Juveniles are grey tinged with brown or rust. Behavior and ecology The screaming piha is an elusive bird despite its distinctive voice, remaining still for long periods and blending in with the branches. It is usually solitary, but may sometimes join a mixed species foraging group. Diet and feeding Screaming pihas feed mainly on fruits, but also consumes insects, ...

Chestnut-capped Piha
The chestnut-capped piha (''Lipaugus weberi'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is endemic to a small portion of Colombia’s central Andes in the department of Antioquia. The chestnut-capped piha resides only in a narrow band of humid premontane cloud forest. It is a dark grey passerine with a notable chestnut crown on the upper nape and pale cinnamon-colored undertail coverts. Adults are small for pihas, measuring about long. Males have modified primary feathers with elongated and stiff barbules that enable them to create a whirring noise with their wings, which the piha likely uses for display purposes. Its call is extremely loud and can be heard over away. The chestnut-capped piha is mostly frugivorous, although it will eat some invertebrates. Little is known about the species' breeding ecology, although it is believed to be a lekking species. The chestnut-capped piha was not discovered until 1999, due in large part to the very limited and to politi ...
