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] |
Johann Baptist Von Spix
Johann Baptist Ritter von Spix (9 February 1781 – 13 March 1826) was a German natural history, biologist. From his expedition to Brazil, he brought to Germany a large variety of specimens of plants, insects, mammals, birds, amphibians and fish. They constitute an important basis for today's National Zoological Collection in Munich. Numerous examples of his ethnographic collections, such as dance masks and the like, are now part of the collection of the Museum Five Continents, Museum of Ethnography in Munich. Biography Spix was born in Höchstadt, in present-day Middle Franconia, as the seventh of eleven children. His childhood home is the site of the Spix Museum, open to the public since 2004. He studied philosophy in Bamberg and graduated with a doctoral degree. Later he studied theology in Würzburg. After attending lectures of the young professor Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, F. W. J. Schelling, Spix became interested in nature. He quit his theology studi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

Snow-capped Manakin
The snow-capped manakin (''Lepidothrix nattereri'') is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in the Amazon Basin of Brazil and far northeastern Bolivia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. This is one of the parent species that hybridized to produce the golden-crowned manakin. A hybrid zone between this species and the opal-crowned manakin exists where the two species ranges come into geographic contact in the Cachimbo Range.

Orange-bellied Manakin
The orange-bellied manakin (''Lepidothrix suavissima''), also known as the tepui manakin, is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It resembles and is closely related to the white-fronted manakin (''L. serena''), and the two were formerly considered conspecific. It is, as suggested by its alternative common name, restricted to humid forest growing on the tepuis in southern Venezuela, far northern Brazil, and central Guyana.

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 ...

Manacus
''Manacus'' is a genus of passerine birds in the manakin family which are found in the forests of tropical mainland Central and South America, and on Trinidad and Tobago. The genus ''Manacus'' was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the white-bearded manakin (''Manacus manacus'') as the type species. The name ''manacus'' is from the Dutch ''manneken'' "pretty little thing". The genus contains four species: The "Almirante manakin" (''Manacus'' x ''cerritus'') are stereotyped hybrids between the white-collared and the golden-collared species, found in Bocas del Toro Province, Panama (Brumfield ''et al.'', 2001; McDonald ''et al.'', 2001). These are small, compact, short-tailed birds with a heavy hooked bill and orange legs. The males have brightly coloured plumage and long puffed throat feathers, whereas the females are the typical manakin dull olive hue. The females lay two eggs in a shallow cup nest in a tree.

''Pipra'' is a genus of birds in the manakin family Pipridae. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Pipra'' was introduced by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1764.
