Black-and-gold Cotinga (Lipaugus ater)
About the Black-and-gold Cotinga
The black-and-gold cotinga (Lipaugus ater) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The black-and-gold cotinga was originally described as Tijuca atra. By the late 1900s there were suggestions that genus Tijuca was a sister genus to Lipaugus. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Tijuca was embedded within Lipaugus so taxonomic systems subsumed Tijuca into Lipaugus. The black-and-gold cotinga is monotypic.
