About the Three-striped Flycatcher

The three-striped flycatcher (Conopias trivirgatus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. The three-striped flycatcher was originally described as Muscicapa trivirgata, mistakenly placing it in the Old World flycatcher family. It was later moved into genus Conopias that had been erected in 1860. Early in the twenty-first century Conopias was recognized as masculine so the specific epithet was changed to trivirgatus to match that gender. The three-striped flycatcher has two subspecies, the nominate C t. trivirgatus (Wied, 1831) and C. t. berlepschi (Snethlage, E, 1914). At least one author has suggested that C. t. berlepschi might be a separate species.
