Serra do Mar Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma chrysolophum)
About the Serra do Mar Tyrant-Manakin
The Serra do Mar tyrant-manakin (Neopelma chrysolophum), also known as the Serra do Mar neopelma and Serra tyrant-manakin, is a species of bird in the family Pipridae, the manakins. It is endemic to Brazil. The Serra do Mar tyrant-manakin was originally described in 1944 as a subspecies of Wied's tyrant-manakin (Neopelma aurifrons). They were separated based on a study published in 1995. The Serra do Mar tyrant-manakin's further taxonomy is unsettled. Worldwide taxonomic systems assign it to genus Neopelma. However, the independent South American Classification Committee follows the recommendation of a paper published in 2023 and assigns it to its own genus, Protopelma. The Serra do Mar tyrant-manakin is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 50 recordings for this species: 43 CC BY-NC-SA · 7 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
