Streamer-tailed Tyrant (Gubernetes yetapa)
About the Streamer-tailed Tyrant
The streamer-tailed tyrant (Gubernetes yetapa) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay, and as a vagrant to Uruguay. The streamer-tailed tyrant was formally described in 1818 as Muscicapa yetapa, erroneously placing it in the Old World flycatcher family. It was later transferred to its present genus Gubernetes that was erected in 1825 by George Such, albeit within family "Laniadae" (later Laniidae, the shrikes). The streamer-tailed tyrant is the only member of genus Gubernetes and has no subspecies.
