Peruvian Plantcutter (Phytotoma raimondii)
About the Peruvian Plantcutter
The Peruvian plantcutter (Phytotoma raimondii) is an Vulnerable species of bird in the family Cotingidae, the cotingas. It is endemic to Peru. For part of the twentieth century the genus Phytotoma was placed in its own family Phytotomidae but subsequent genetic testing proved that it belonged in its current Cotinga family. The Peruvian plantcutter shares genus Phytotoma with the white-tipped plantcutter (P. rutila) and rufous-tailed plantcutter (P. rara). It and the white-tipped are sister species. The Peruvian plantcutter is monotypic.
