Zimmer's Tody-Tyrant (Hemitriccus minimus)
About the Zimmer's Tody-Tyrant
Zimmer's tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus minimus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru. Zimmer's tody-tyrant has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described in 1925 as Snethlagea minima. By the mid-twentieth century it had been reclassified as a subspecies of Snethlage's tody-tyrant (then Snethlagea minor). Snethlagea was later merged into Hemitriccus. Early specimens were eventually reexamined and determined to be the same as "H. aenigma", what was at the time of its description thought to be a new species. The previous H. m. minimus was recognized as a species, merged with H. aenigma, and by the principle of priority became the present H. minimus.
