Long-crested Pygmy Tyrant (Lophotriccus eulophotes)
About the Long-crested Pygmy Tyrant
The long-crested pygmy tyrant (Lophotriccus eulophotes) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in the western Amazon Basin of Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. The long-crested pygmy tyrant has had the binomial Lophotriccus eulophotes since it was originally described in 1925. It is monotypic. However, several early twentieth century authors treated it and what is now the double-banded pygmy tyrant (L. vitiosus) as conspecific. In addition, several authors have suggested that genus Lophotriccus should be merged into genus Hemitriccus.
