Ceratopipra Explained
Ceratopipra is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pipridae.
Taxonomy
The genus Ceratopipra was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854 with the scarlet-horned manakin as the type species.[1] [2] The name Ceratopipra combines the Ancient Greek κερας keras, κερατος keratos "horn" with the genus Pipra introduced by Carl Linnaeus in 1764.[3]
Species
The genus contains the five species:[4]
| Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
|---|
| Ceratopipra cornuta | | Venezuela and adjacent Guyana and northern Brazil |
| Ceratopipra mentalis | | Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Panama. |
| Ceratopipra erythrocephala | | from Panama, Colombia and Trinidad south and east to the Guianas and Brazil and northern Peru |
| Ceratopipra rubrocapilla | | Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. |
| Ceratopipra chloromeros | | Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. |

These species were previously included in the genus Pipra, but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that this placement renders Pipra non-monophyletic.[5] [6] [7]
